Keeler: Nuggets need mean. CSU Rams star David Roddy wants to be Draymond Green of Gen Z. Could it be match made in NBA Draft Heaven?

The Nuggets need mean. Not thug mean. The smart, skilled, crafty, sneaky and clever kind of mean. The kind of mean that gets away with it.

They need a Draymond Green of their own. A guy who doesn’t just crawl inside another team’s heads. A guy who helps himself to everything in that team’s fridge, kicks the other team’s dog, curls up on that team’s loveseat and won’t leave.

And here’s the cool part: David Roddy, nicest kid on the planet off the court, wants to be that kinda mean.

“I think that’s something that’s intriguing about me, is that I’m willing to do any kind of role,” the former CSU Rams star said Tuesday after completing a pre-NBA Draft workout for the Nuggets at Ball Arena.
