Emmanuel Mudiay has been described as a gym rat. Less than a week after the NBA Draft, the Nuggets are already seeing that reputation play out.
Mudiay is already hard at work with the Nuggets’ training staff, preparing for his rookie campaign, as seen in the video the team posted on Twitter early Tuesday…

In addition to his preparation for the season, Mudiay has been taking time to meet with fans and make the local media circuit.
On Saturday he met Nuggets fans for the first time…

And on Monday he appeared with Vic Lombardi on CBS 4’s XML…

The hard work will only increase from here. NBA Summer League in Las Vegas starts July 10. Mudiay is expected to see action there in order to better adjust to the size, speed and skill of NBA players. After playing professionally in China for the past year, these Summer League games will be an invaluable part of his learning curve.
