Editor’s note: One of a series previewing the NBA draft for the Denver Nuggets. Today: small forward
By the strictest definition of a small forward, the upcoming NBA draft isn’t deep.
There’s Deni Avdija (Israel) and Isaac Okoro (Auburn) at the top of the draft, and beyond that, the talent pool falls off dramatically. If the Nuggets want to get in on the second tier of wings, it will in all likelihood take a trade up. Or, they could always settle for a sleeper prospect at No. 22.
Denver’s vantage point is slightly different from most teams.
