Sean Keeler: The joke’s on Joker. And us. Trust the basketball gods to give Denver one of the most watered-down draft classes in modern NBA history in a summer when the Nuggets absolutely need to find some diamonds among all that rough. The upside? We’re losing sleep over tweaks, nips and tucks. The core of the roster remains one of the NBA’s best — it’s all about finding the right (and affordable) pieces to complement Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, (probably) Michael Porter Jr. and (maybe) Kentavious Caldwell-Pope. According to our colleague Bennett Durando, the Nuggs are going to have a hard time swinging a trade out of pick No.
Renck vs. Keeler: If Nuggets can’t trade out of pick No. 28, which NBA draft prospect should they take in the first round?
