5 things to know about Nuggets draft pick Malik Beasley

The Florida State Seminole freshman was the third first round pick by the Denver Nuggets, here's a quick introduction to know one of the newest Nuggets a little bit better.

Malik Beasley was selected with the 19th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft by the Denver Nuggets, becoming the first Florida State Seminole selected in the lottery since Al Thornton in 2007.

The 6-foot-5 wing had surgery after the season for a stress fracture in his right leg, having a metal rod inserted to help him deal with the injury. The Georgia native entered the draft after one season, and should be an exciting part of the Nuggets future.
