Denver Nuggets

Jaylen Brown is often considered the boom-or-bust of the draft, but in a situation where he can have to time to grow and eventually be the go to player on that team; he will become a star in the NBA.  At 6’7″, 223 ibs, Brown has the ideal size of an NBA small forward.  He’s also very athletic and intelligent, plus the guy is only 19.  Brown could attack the rim hard and threw down ferocious dunks that were unstoppable at the college level.

He shows flashes of star potential, but will an inconsistent jumper and playmaking ability limit him from ever becoming a great NBA player?  The Nuggets with a substantial number of draft picks this year, will take that risk.

Next: 6. New Orleans Pelicans
