Over three seasons of college basketball with Creighton, Alexander had career averages of 12.9 points, 4.6 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.0 steals per contest while shooting 44.2% from the field and 35.8% from the three-point range in 107 games.

Being on a two-way deal will give the Nuggets a chance to develop him in the G League.

The Nuggets are among the best teams in the NBA and they are coming off a season where they were the second seed in the Western Conference with a 57-25 record.

They beat the Los Angeles Lakers in the first round of the NBA playoffs but lost to Anthony Edwards and the Minnesota Timberwolves in Game 7 of the second round.

Over the offseason, the Nuggets lost two-time NBA Champion Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the Orlando Magic (via free agency).

He will be a tough player to replace.
