Mudiay had a solid summer league performance for Denver as he averaged 12 points and 5.8 assists. His play in Las Vegas gained notice and he was named to the All-NBA summer league second team.
General manager Tim Connelly recently said he's confident Mudiay can handle the workload running new coach Michael Malone's system, especially with veteran Jameer Nelson expected to lend guidance.
