01The story of the nightLast Season by the NumbersNnaji played 52 games for Denver last season, averaging 12.0 minutes, 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds.

Nnaji played 52 games for Denver last season, averaging 12.0 minutes, 3.7 points and 2.6 rebounds. He shot 47.0 percent from the field, 25.9 percent from three and 77.3 percent from the line, with a 55.8 true shooting mark and a 13.6 usage rate. His plus-minus sat at minus-2.1, and he chipped in 0.6 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.5 blocks a night. Those numbers describe a reserve big man who rebounds and finishes rather than creates.

Through five games this season, Nnaji's minutes have been thin: 0.0 against the Lakers, 7.6 against the Clippers, 6.5 against the Bulls, 9.1 against the Jazz and 14.7 in the other Jazz game. His scoring in that stretch ranged from zero to six points, with rebounding totals no higher than four. The pattern tracks with how he closed out last season, when his minutes against Minnesota, San Antonio, Oklahoma City and Memphis also bounced between single digits and the high teens.
