The 2017 NBA Draft was my very first draft as a Denver Stiff, and leading up to the evening I was full of excitement and anticipation. The Nuggets had missed out on the playoffs, but had such a great few months leading up to that point it was hard to not be excited about the direction the team was headed. Then watching the events of that evening unfold, I found myself disillusioned as a fan. The entire evening was one big blunder from my point of view, and subsequently watching Danilo Gallinari and Chris Finch leave the organization, I was left feeling concerned about whether or not I should trust the direction the team was headed.
