We can dream of how teenage sensation Emmanuel Mudiay or that big enigma DeMarcus Cousins would look in a Nuggets uniform. But the reality is: Draft night will reveal if anybody in the NBA actually believes in the star power of point guard Ty Lawson or whether power forward Kenneth Faried has any real trade value.
The Nuggets will be aggressive in an attempt to reshape the roster of a team that lost 52 games in 2014, general manager Tim Connelly has vowed repeatedly. When the dust settles, the direction of the franchise will be abundantly clear to Denver fans who quit buying tickets to the Pepsi Center, according to president Josh Kroenke.
