Denver Stiffs 2021 Post-draft lottery roundtable

Tommy Knowlton (@TommyKnow303): If Denver does choose to stick with the 26th pick there are some interesting depth options. JT Thor from Auburn is an athletic forward standing 6’10” with a 7’3” wingspan and has tremendous upside on the defensive end. Denver needs a defensive paint presence, and if they do not address it in free agency, JT Thor could fit the Mason Plumlee role. Another interesting player is Croatia's Roko Prkau010din. He’s only 18 years old, but he’s 6’8” and knows how to get to his spots offensively. He can score off the dribble, he’s effective at driving to the basket, and features useful passing instincts.
