2019 Stiffs NBA Draft Primer

While I’m always excited for the NBA season to start, especially when the Nuggets are good, my excitement always goes up when college basketball starts. I love watching college games for the atmosphere, the buzzer beaters, the upsets, and especially to track NBA prospects. It’s fun to see the future of the NBA beginning to make a name for themselves at the college level.

This year, there isn’t as much excitement around the draft for the Nuggets. They traded their 2019 first round pick to the Brooklyn Nets to clear Kenneth Faried’s albatross contract off their books, clearing space to sign Isaiah Thomas and avoid the luxury tax.
