Nuggets GM Kiki Vandeweghe said the Nuggets soon should sign a shooting guard, and the front-runner is former Toronto free agent Voshon Lenard. He averaged 14.3 points last season, with 92 3-pointers. The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder averaged 11.8 points with the Nuggets from 2000-02. Denver's roster also includes several other shooting guards: Rodney White, Jon Barry, Jeff Trepagnier and Vincent Yarbrough.

The Nuggets signed rookie forward-center Francisco Elson to a contract Friday and would like to add a veteran big man. Vandeweghe, however, said such a move may not be made until during training camp.
