Updated draft lottery projections for the Nuggets
By Mathew Huff
The Nuggets’ odds of winning the number one draft pick are virtually impossible.
The Denver Nuggets will not have a very good chance of getting a top pick like the Celtics, Lakers, and Knicks. Thankfully, this year’s draft class is stockpiled with plenty of talent.
Currently, the Nuggets have a 0.6% chance of winning the number one pick.
Denver Nuggets
Compared to Boston who has a 25% chance of getting the top pick, Denver most likely won’t be blessed with the likes of a Markelle Fultz.
As of right now, it looks as if Denver will land the 13th pick in the lottery since they have a 96% chance of getting this pick. They also have a 1.8% chance of getting the 14th pick which will most likely go to the Miami Heat who has a 98.2% chance of getting that particular spot. I predicted that they would get the 14th pick a couple of weeks ago, but now, I would have to say they will get the 13th pick.
They may not get a top 10 pick, but they will still have the opportunity to land a quality rookie in this draft class.
Whether they draft someone like a Justin Jackson or a Isiah Hartenstein, Denver will most likely benefit greatly from whoever they draft.
