2024 Fantasy Outlook
Strawther held a minor rotational role as a rookie, averaging 4.5 points and 1.2 rebounds in 10.9 minutes per game across 50 appearances. While known as a three-point specialist, Strawther shot 29.7 percent from deep on 2.8 attempts per game. None of that makes you think Strawther is trending toward a breakout in Year 2. However, that's not all of the equation. The Nuggets, who were reigning champs last year, had a tight backcourt rotation with Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter, Christian Braun, Justin Holiday and Reggie Jackson playing a majority of the minutes. Caldwell-Pope is in Orlando, Jackson signed with Philadelphia and Holiday remains a free agent, leaving a gaping hole in Denver's rotation. The Nuggets' only notable backcourt addition to replace those guys was Russell Westbrook, who's expected to operate as the primary backup to Murray. That leaves Strawther to compete with Braun for the starting shooting guard spot. Braun likely has the upper hand, as he was already a bigger part of the rotation last year, but Strawther's shooting ability would seemingly be a better fit with Nikola Jokic and Aaron Gordon down low. Strawther's floor is as low as it was in Year 1, but he has a clear path to playing time this season and could be the steal of the draft if he plays himself into a starting role. Read Past Outlooks

Personal Bio/PreCareer Summary

Julian Strawther was a 2023 WCC First-Team honoree, fueled by 15.5 points and 5.2 rebounds per game. He was a backup on Gonzaga's 2020-21 run to the National Championship game. Strawther also plays for Puerto Rico during international FIBA play. A native of Las Vegas, Strawther's older sister played basketball at UNLV. Strawther is the epitome of a cookie-cutter NBA wing. He buried 40.8 percent of 5.3 three-point attempts per game last season. Strawther held his own as a perimeter defender but didn't show much growth as a true defensive asset schematically. He brings good size and a respectable repertoire around the basket. Strawther's athleticism is another question mark, but he's been consistently reliable for Gonzaga's winning program. Strawther's spot-up shooting skills are proven, and he isn't a liability on defense. Beyond that, it's tough to gauge what components of Strawther's game could be true differentiators. He has the chance to stick if he can evolve as a defender. Stawther assuming a back-end role similar to Sam Hauser with the Celtics is plausible.

Provides spark off bench in loss
FDenver Nuggets
February 27, 2025
Strawther notched 12 points (5-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt) over 20 minutes in Thursday's 121-112 loss to Milwaukee.
ANALYSIS
Strawther was one of two Nuggets with 20 or more minutes off the bench Thursday, using that time on the court to lead all second unit players in scoring while connecting on a team-high-tying pair of threes. Strawther bounced back after two single-digit scoring totals in his previous two appearances, and he's now reached double figures in seven of his last 10 outings.
