Denver Nuggets

Brice Johnson was an absolute BEAST for UNC, averaging a double double-17.0 points (on 61.4% shooting) and 10.4 rebounds per game last season.  Brice Johnson processes great speed and elite leaping ability.

He would mesh well in the Nuggets system as a master rebounder, and he would provide an immediate offensive boost. At first, it may be a struggle for him to get minutes, but with Darrell Authur potential not resigning, he could see minutes at the backup 4 with hard work.

Next: 14. Chicago Bulls
