From Around the Web
- Mark Kiszla of The Denver Post says the team has three choices in the upcoming draft: trade the number 11 pick and Wilson Chandler to Toronto for DeMar DeRozan, reduce the pressure on whoever the team chooses at number 11 to contribute immediately by aggressively pursuing free agent Trevor Ariza, or “pray…Nik Stauskas is still on the board when it is the Nuggets’ turn” to pick at number 11. Hmmm, I wonder who else has been pushing for the Stauskas selection?
