With the Denver Nuggets five draft picks, we may be in for at least one shocker.

As the NBA Finals just wrapped up, every team will now focus on the NBA Draft. This draft is an important one for the Denver Nuggets as it could re-direction their team. Late round gems are something that are special but rare. Therefore, if we take one of these, who will be taking?

As we have already addressed in multiple articles, the Nuggets have several needs/issues, but the most important of these will probably be handled with the picks at 7 and 15, but who could the Nuggets surprise us with with pick 19, and their second round picks.

The Nuggets have workout +50 prospects; therefore, the Nuggets, without a doubt, will know who they want, and they can and will do what it takes to get their star. The Nuggets have been constantly inconsistent in being able to produce draft talent.

These sleepers will look to fill the void for the Nuggets second unit and develop, but let us remember that they must make the team first. Denver, having no D-League affiliate, must slim down its roster for the season which could mean cutting a couple of these draftees.

Trading is and most likely will be an option; therefore, stay tune for all your draft coverage come Thursday night.

Without further ado, here are our top 5 sleepers that may shock Nuggets fans come draft night.
