4 years agoThe Milwaukee Bucks have selected point guard RJ Hampton out of Australia with the 24th overall selection in the 2020 NBA Draft, but Hampton will be heading to Denver as part of the Jrue Holiday trade, with New Orleans further dealing his rights. Hampton had been the No. 5 overall prospect in the 2019 collegiate recruiting class, but decided to play professionally with the New Zealand Breakers last year. Having averaged 8.8 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per contest during 15 games in the NBL, Hampton joins a Nuggets backcourt that already boasts considerable depth. Despite having played professionally for one season, Hampton's path to significant playing time out of the gate is a bit muddled, although he could certainly play his way into fantasy consideration during his rookie year.--Jesse Borek
