After Carmelo Anthony was traded to the Knicks, everyone thought the Nuggets were finished for a while. They have proved all of the haters wrong by making the playoffs, giving the Los Angeles Lakers a run for there money and having some of the best overall stats as a team. They are 1st in the league in points per game with 104.1, 8th in rebounds per game with 43.1 and 1st in the league in assists per game with 24. Even though this team has had a solid year they are still projected to have three draft picks. One in the mid-late first round, the second in the early second round and the last in the mid-late second round. With these slots, I believe that the Nuggets have the most potential for this draft. They already have a bunch of young talent such as Ty Lawson, JaVale McGee and Danilo Gallinari and if they make the right picks they will be a tough team to beat. For thier first pick they should take Dion Waiters of Syracuse. He is a point guard/shooting guard who could do exactly what he did this year, make a huge impact off the bench. For thier second pick they should go big and take either JaMychal Green of Alabama or Quincy Acy of Baylor. Both of these guys are powerful forces who can score the basketball and can grab a truck load of rebounds. Either of those guys would help them out. For thier last pick they have to be looking for Tyshawn Taylor to play backup point guard. He is projected to go pretty late but if the Nuggets take him it would be a complete steal. I am not saying that any of these guys will start but all of them could make big impacts off the bench. If the Nuggets have a succesful draft, look for them to have a very sucessful season.
