The Denver Nuggets are one of the deepest teams in the NBA today. Nikola Jokic is without a doubt one of the best passers in history. But the Nuggets also have Facundo Campazzo, who just made the San Antonio Spurs defenders look dumb with a no-look dime in their matchup on Wednesday.
It's no secret that Campazzo has superb playmaking abilities. And no one saw the play coming except him and JaMychal Green, who finished it with a nice slam.

The Nuggets were right in signing Campazzo to a multi-year deal in the offseason. While the heady guard is still relatively unknown in the NBA, he is an absolute legend in Europe as the star guard of Argentina. But with plays like this one, more and more NBA fans are starting to recognize the nifty floor general.
The Nuggets' signing of the diminutive Campazzo is yet another testament to their effort to find a player who can impact the team, regardless of his size or his background.
So far, Facundo Campazzo is averaging 4.7 points, 1.4 rebounds, and 2.8 assists across 18.0 minutes of play. The numbers don't scream at you—maybe not yet—because he may still be adjusting to the NBA style of play. But it's only a matter of time when he'll deliver spectacular plays on a regular basis.
