Hoop Hype
... Although the NBA season
is barely underway, Denver already
appears to be the league's
most improved team.
The primary reason for the Nug(Tftts1
lintrrnHf ic 1.1 ppnfpr ni.
fO* ^ vv?.?v*
kembe Mutombo, late of Georgetown,
who Denver selected with
the fourth overall pick of the 1991
draft. A native of Zaire, Mutombo
came to the Nuggets with a reputation
of being a great defender and
shot blocker.
But few realized he possessed
the offensive skills he has displayed
in the preseason and first
two regular season games. During
the exhibition season, Mutombo
averaged 21 points and 13 rebounds.
Then, after scoring 18
points and grabbing 16 boards in
Friday's season opening 3-point
loss to Golden State, Mutombo erupted
for 27 points, 17 rebounds
and 5 blocked shots in Saturday'sovertime
win over Houston,
outplaying all-NBA center Hakeem
Olajuwon in the process.
After Mutombo burned the Sixers
for 21 points and 19 boards in
the preseason, Charles Barkley
said, "He's going to be a stud. I
thought he was the best player in
the draft. There are teams that
made a big mistake by not drafting
him earlier."
One team that could have
drafted Mutombo but didn't is the
Charlotte Hornets, who instead
made UNLV's Larry Johnson the
No. 1 pick of the draft. Johnson,
however, has been no disappointsthelooks
