The Nuggets need to draft based on potential.

The Nuggets are picking 13th in the draft. Most of the NBA ready prospects will have already been picked and the Nuggets should draft based on who has the highest ceiling.

The Nuggets need to stay away from drafting a wing because we already have Wilson Chandler and Malik Beasley and we have the ability to sign back Danilo.

We are solid in all positions except for our point guard and center. At 13, none of the marquee point guards will be left so that is a no go.

There will still be a good crop of posts who could be paired with Jokic. Jarrett Allen and Isiah Hartenstein could be interesting picks here but there is one really good option the Nuggets need to really look into.
