The Denver Nuggets came to terms with guard Dahntay Jones on a one year contract, the Denver Post is reporting.

Jones played well on Denver's summer league team, well enough to earn himself a guaranteed contract for the league minimum, around $1 million.

"I think George (Karl) is going to put a real emphasis on defense, defensive pressure, and Dahntay is a great on-the-ball defender," agent Mark Bartelstein said. "I think he will help them immensely that way. He's a great fit."
