Denver Nuggets players Alpha Diallo and Cam Johnson impress in training camp

The Denver Nuggets are seeing early impact from new and returning players during training camp. Alpha Diallo, the former EuroLeague Defender of the Year, has signed a one-year, $1.4 million guaranteed deal with the team. After five seasons with AS Monaco, the 29-year-old defensive specialist has impressed head coach David Adelman with his screen defense and off-ball activity, positioning himself for potential minutes with the second unit.

Meanwhile, Cam Johnson is entering his second season in Denver following a trade from the Brooklyn Nets. After a transitional first year where he worked to adapt to the Nuggets' offensive system, Johnson aims to provide better support for Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray. Despite a dip in scoring averages during his first season, Johnson showed improvement late in the year, including a 43% three-point shooting percentage.
