Nuggets need to push for 2016 second-round pick ahead of NBA trade deadline

In the Tim Connelly era as general manager of the Denver Nuggets, he has used four second-round picks on the following players:

2013 NBA Draft:

Erick Green, 46th overall via trade with the Utah Jazz.

Joffrey Lauvergne, 55th overall via trade with the Memphis Grizzlies.

2014 NBA Draft:

Nikola Jokic, 41st overall.

2015 NBA Draft:

Nikola Radicevic, 57th overall. (Pick coming to Denver from the Los Angeles Clippers in 2009.)

Of the four guys above, three have suited up for the Nuggets and Radicevic, a crafty 6-foot-5 point guard (who is coming off labrum surgery to his hip) could be the next overseas import of the Connelly tenure.
