Nuggets, Curtis Jones agree to two-way deal

Undrafted free agent former Iowa State guard Curtis Jones has agreed to a two-way deal with the Nuggets, his NEXT Sports agent Austin Walton has informed Shams Charania of ESPN (Twitter link).

As Charania notes, Jones’ Summer League performance for Denver’s Summer League squad clearly inspired the signing. He notched averages of 14.6 PPG, 4.4 RPG, 3.8 APG, 0.8 SPG and 0.6 BPG. The 6’4″ swingman also logged a slash line of .549/.467/.500. That 46.7% long range conversion rate arrived on 2.8 triple tries a night, in just 20.2 minutes.

Jones spent his first two NCAA seasons with Buffalo, which included a 2023 All-MAC honor, before transferring to Iowa State. Last year, he was named the Big 12 Sixth Man of the Year and to an All-Big 12 team for his play. In 34 bouts, he averaged 17.4 PPG, 4.2 RPG, and 2.3 APG. Jones also posted shooting splits of .430/.374/.845.
