Loretto, PA -- Former Saint Francis men's basketball star Devin Sweetney has been invited to training camp with the Denver Nuggets, according to The Denver Post.
 
With Saint Francis from 2006-10, Sweetney scored 1,529 points, seventh most in school history. He averaged 14 points per game in his career with the Red Flash, including a career-high 16.9 points per game during his senior year in 2009-10.
 
"I am very excited for Devin and the opportunity that he has to take one step closer to achieving one of his dreams," said Saint Francis head coach Rob Krimmel, who was an assistant during Sweetney's time in Loretto. "The success that he has enjoyed as a professional basketball player is a result of his focus, determination, work ethic, and humility.  
 
"We are all very proud of Devin for all that he has accomplished on and off the court since he graduated from Saint Francis.  He is a great ambassador of our University."
 
Sweetney, 27, went undrafted after his career at Saint Francis, but he went on to have a successful career playing abroad. He's made stops in Latvia, Iceland, Japan, Canada, Switzerland and the Dominican Republic. While playing in the National Basketball League of Canada in 2012-13, Sweetney was named the league's Most Valuable Player after leading the league with a 25 points per game average for the Moncton Miracles.
 
Following his time in Canada, Sweetney moved to the top league in Switzerland. Playing for the Lugano Tigers in 2013-14, he helped the team to a league championship.
