Nuggets snag Gonzaga sniper Julian Strawther with No. 29 pick of NBA draft

The Denver Nuggets have a type.

Under Nuggets GM Calvin Booth, that much is obvious.

The Nuggets drafted Gonzaga wing Julian Strawther with the No. 29 pick in Thursday’s NBA draft, underscoring Denver’s commitment to positional size.

The pick was the result of a recent trade with Indiana and the transaction wasn’t finalized as of Thursday night.

Strawther, a 6-foot-7 junior, adds another versatile piece to Denver’s depth chart. At Gonzaga, particularly this season, Strawther flashed an elite ability to shoot from distance. With a quick release and deep range, Strawther provides what every team is looking for: shooting.
