To add some warmth to the cold season the Denver Nuggets are having, we take a look at the best draft picks in franchise history to summon some good luck.
Take a look at the Denver Nuggets all-time franchise statistical leaders and you’ll see names that fans consider some of the greatest of their generation. Alex English, Dan Issel, Andre Miller, Allen Iverson, and Marcus Camby were all some of the best to put on a Nuggets uniform. The thing that unifies all of these guys is, none of them were actually drafted by the Nuggets organization.
Taking a look at the Nuggets draft history will leave you scratching your head a bit. While the big names stand out, they are spread out across the board. It definitely gives some understanding to why the Denver franchise is still looking for its first championship title.
This season offers little hope at changing that statistic, as the Nuggets still have a lot of growing to do. So here at Nugg Love, we decided to shine a bright spot in hopes of bringing some good luck to our lottery picks going forward.
We scavenged through all their draft picks to come up with a list of their top ten choices of all time in order. Without titles to take into account, we took into account career stats, impact on franchise, and how much love they got from the fans. Check them out and let us know if you agree.
