Zach Mikash (@ZachMikash): Over Wolters or Hummel it’s definitely the right choice, the only argument I could see making is whether or not it was the right choice to take Stokes over Axel Toupane or JaKarr Sampson. That argument would be purely talent based and on that front I think it’s still pretty even. Given the Nuggets traded away Joffrey Lauvergne in the offseason which created a hole at emergency center, Stokes wins out over those other two guys based purely on need and no appreciable talent gap. This is not to say the guy didn’t earn it, because he did, out of all the deep bench players he far and away had the best preseason.
