Count George Karl as someone that is hopeful the Nuggets will re-sign point Steve Blake when he becomes a free agent in the summer.

"I don't think there's any question we're very interested in putting him on our team next year," Karl said. "He's been impressive, a lot better than I thought."

Coby Karl To End Up In Denver?

If George Karl's son Coby goes undrafted this June, there is a good chance that he will be invited by the Nuggets to their summer camp.

"My feeling is yes," Karl said of the 6-foot-4 guard, who just completed his senior season at Boise State and is a long shot to be a second-round pick.

"Right now, my feeling is he fits what we need. We need kind of a playmaking bigger player."

It would be a tough decision," Coby said. "I want to make a team. So, if this is the best opportunity, I'd probably be more than willing to do it."
