The 1998 NBA draft was one of the more hit-or-miss years for prospects. The Nuggets had the third pick in the draft, which didn’t pan out too well for them.
The Denver Nuggets have had a lot of success in the draft in recent years, but 1998 was neither recent or successful. Denver had the third overall selection in the draft, with an embarrassment of riches available to them all over the draft. Of course, nobody got it more wrong than the Los Angeles Clippers.
