The Draft

The draft class appears to be a great group of guys that want to play in Denver. Now it is a matter of finding minutes that allow for development and growth but don’t hold the team back.

Jamal Murray is the only one, in my opinion, that will average close to 15 minutes a game. This team has depth. Juan Hernangomez and Beasley will have to be very impressive at the start of camp and in the preseason games. So that their rookies seasons would be full  of large amounts of playing time.
