Denver Sports Omelette: Tim Connelly has landed some gems in the NBA draft over the years

“With the 14th pick in the 2018 NBA draft, the Denver Nuggets select …”

We’ll finally be able to finish that statement Thursday night. At least, if Denver stays at that spot in the first round.

Remember what happened last year? The Nuggets picked Donovan Mitchell at No. 13 for Utah, then shipped the future Rookie of the Year contender to their division rival in exchange for Trey Lyles (who was a key reserve for Denver last season, particularly while Paul Millsap was out with a torn wrist ligament) and the 24th pick that became Tyler Lydon.
