Nuggets optioned F Jordan Hamilton to the Idaho Stampede of the NBADL.

Hamilton, an athletic swing man, was expected to challenge for a spot in the Nuggets' rotation this year with Wilson Chandler and J.R. Smith playing in China, but he wasn't able to make his way into any of the Nuggets' first six games of the season. He will work on his game in the NBADL to try to make his way back to Denver.
