As it stands now, the Denver Nuggets have 16 players joining them for training camp. Make that 17 with the addition of Matt Janning to the training camp roster. Janning is a 27 year-old shooting guard (6'5" and 190 pounds), who played quite well in the Italian league this past season, and put up impressive shooting numbers in Turkey.

Janning went undrafted in 2010, and has yet to play in an NBA regular season game.

In college at Northeastern, Janning averaged 14.3 points per game during his career and shot a decent 34.5% from long range. With Anadolu Efes this past season of the Turkish basketball league he averaged 10.8 points and shot over 40% from deep.
Here are his highlights from this past season:
