According to Denver Gazette reporter Vinny Benedetto, local Denver media, the Denver Nuggets will make considerable adjustments to the candidates for two-way contracts next season. Trey Alexander, a backcourt star who held a two-way contract last season, will not return to the team this summer. Alexander was born in May 2003 and is 22 years old. He was the undrafted in the NBA draft last year. According to data from the physical test session of the joint trial before the NBA draft last year, Alexander's bare foot height was 191.1cm, his wingspan was 209.6cm, his standing height was 257.8cm, and his weight was 84.8kg. After last year's draft, Alexander immediately received a two-way contract from the Nuggets, which also shows that the Nuggets still recognize his abilities.

In the NBA regular season this season, Alexander made a total of 24 appearances in 82 games, averaging only 4.9 minutes per game, averaging 1.3 points, 0.5 rebounds, 0.5 assists and 0.1 steals, 0.2 turnovers and 0.4 fouls, shooting percentage of 31.7%, three-point shooting percentage of 17.6%, and free throw shooting percentage of 75%. In the NBA Development League regular season this season, Alexander made a total of 30 appearances for the Nuggets' subordinate team Grand Rapids Gold, of which 29 were the starters, and averaged 37 minutes per game, with averaging 25.8 points, 5.8 rebounds, 5.3 assists, 1.5 steals and 0.4 blocks, and 2.9 turnovers and 2.4 fouls. He shot 46.3%, three-point shooting percentage 39.7%, and free throw shooting percentage 81.7%.

Alexander has almost no playing time or performance opportunities in the NBA, and he has no way to fully display his talents in this situation. However, in the NBA Development League, Alexander's performance is remarkable. He has excellent scoring ability, his offensive efficiency is quite good, and his stability outside the three-point line is obvious to all. Not only that, Alexander also performed quite well in passing and organizing offense, and his role on the defensive end is also worthy of recognition. Alexander is an all-round player with both offense and defense, and his role on the court is indeed quite outstanding. With his outstanding performance, Alexander also received the honor of being the best rookie in the NBA Development League this season.

It is no exaggeration to say that Alexander was one of the best players in the entire NBA Development League last season. He showed quite good maturity, his ball handling ability is excellent, and his personal ability is also quite outstanding. As a rookie, it is not easy to be able to perform like this. Unexpectedly, the Nuggets were unwilling to give him a new contract, which was also somewhat surprising. However, with Alexander's performance this season, we have every reason to believe that there will definitely be teams that will give him a contract this summer. As for whether it is a two-way contract, or whether Alexander needs to use a training camp contract to win himself the opportunity to return to the NBA, we don’t know.
