Nuggets 2021 NBA mock draft tracker 2.0: What the national experts predict Denver will do
Jamal Murray poses with Commissioner Adam Silver after being drafted seventh overall by the Denver Nuggets in the first round of the 2016 NBA Draft at the Barclays Center on June 23, 2016 in the Brooklyn borough of New York City.The NBA draft order was finalized Tuesday with the Detroit Pistons winning the No. 1 overall pick in the lottery.
As for the Nuggets? They’ve been sitting at No. 26, a spot they’ve only selected from once: In 2006 when they picked Auburn center Mamadou N’Diaye. He was with the team for nearly six months — playing zero games — before being traded to the Toronto Raptors.
Hopefully, for Denver’s sake, the second time at No. 26 will be better.
