Let’s get this out of the way right off the bat, the Denver Nuggets historically have been terrible at drafting. Whether it was their inability to land any significant talent in the ridiculously long drafts of the 70s and 80s, whatever the hell Bernie Bickerstaff was doing in the mid 90s, or Mark Warkentein’s general distaste for anything resembling drafting a player, the Nuggets simply strikeout more often than not in June. Ever since Masai Ujiri came aboard though they’ve been able to have a lot of success in the draft. Tim Connelly has not only picked up where Ujiri left off, but even surpassed him in draft success.
