Free agent forward Joe Alexander has signed a training camp contract with the
Denver Nuggets, a league source told RealGM.
自由球员Joe Alexander在最近与金块签下了季前训练营的合约。
Alexander, who finalized his deal on Tuesday, was the No. 8 overall pick in
the 2008 NBA Draft to the Milwaukee Bucks. He averaged 4.7 points and 1.9
rebounds as a rookie, and the 6-foot-8 product was a candidate for the slam
dunk contest at the 2009 All-Star weekend.
在美国时间周二签下新约的Alexander，曾经在2008选秀会上以第八顺位被公鹿队选上，
尽管他拥有超过200公分的身高，也曾经在新秀年考虑报名明星赛周末的“灌篮大赛”，
然而他不但在几天后退出竞赛，他新人赛季的场均得分也只有4.7分。
Alexander never found a niche in the league out of West Virginia University,
playing professionally in the D-League and Russia after being released by the
Chicago Bulls in 2010.
Alexander虽然出身于学术与体育都有一定水准的西维吉尼亚大学，但他在NBA期间从来
没有找到能在联盟生存的利基点，这个缺陷也使得他在2010年被公牛释出后，只能陆续
在NBA底下的发展联盟(D-League)与欧洲联赛(俄罗斯)打零工。
Alexander went to training camp with the Golden State Warriors last season.
这并不是Alexander第一次试图借由季前营重返NBA，他去年就曾经参加勇士队的季前营。
