With the NBA Draft less than a week out, Nuggets.com takes a look at 10 prospects who have been heavily-linked to the team through various mock drafts.
Kentucky is a powerhouse when it comes to producing NBA-caliber talent and the school’s leading prospect this year is point guard Tyrese Maxey.
Standing at 6-foot-3, Maxey is likely to slot in at point guard in the NBA, but he has the versatility and positional awareness to play shooting guard as well. He is not a natural pass-first point guard, which might raise concerns for some NBA teams, but he has shown enough playmaking in that area to be a positive factor.
