The summer league roster for the Nuggets includes three second-round draft picks. To find a path from that position to an NBA roster, Nikola Radicevic, Petr Cornelie and Monte Morris need only to look inside their own organization for inspiration.
It was just three years ago that the Nuggets selected Nikola Jokic with the 41st overall pick. Jokic stayed in Europe for one season after being drafted, then finished third in NBA rookie of the year voting following his debut 2015-16 season. All Jokic did to follow that up was finish second in the voting for most improved player this past season, establishing himself as a potential future star.
