Denver Nuggets' NBA Draft Big Board
Statistics Per 40 Minutes: PPG, RPG, APG, SPG
This pick isn't about bringing in someone who played his college basketball nearby with the Colorado Buffaloes, but more so that Spencer Dinwiddie fills a gap on this Nuggets roster—a bigger guard who can play point.
Ty Lawson returns, but Robinson enters the last year of his deal and Andre Miller is gone. Furthermore, Randy Foye and Evan Fournier are the only shooting guards on the roster as of now, and neither has a guaranteed contract after next season.
Denver needs backcourt depth. Granted, it's unlikely the Nuggets will run into as much bad luck with injuries as they did last year, but they can't risk it either.
The most glaring concern is that Dinwiddie tore his ACL in the middle of last season.
However, according to 's Jeff Goodman, Dinwiddie is far ahead of schedule for recovery and is expected to be ready for training camp. He was a projected first-round pick before his injury and said, “I feel like I’m the best point guard in the draft."
While that's likely more confidence than reality, he does have the athleticism and size to play point guard on both sides of the ball in the NBA.

The Ultimate Crapshoot
First things first — I love the NBA draft. Any time you can bake me a draft soufflé that’s crammed with multiple tremendous-upside-potential guys, multiple red-flag guys, multiple panic-stricken teams, multiple workout-fueled lottery climbers and multiple teams desperately trying to trade up or down, I’m going to devour that thing. You already have the following pieces in play and the draft hasn’t even started yet:
• The consensus best prospect (Kansas center Joel Embiid) is being compared to Hakeem Olajuwon AND Greg Oden, he&#;s watching the draft from L.A. because he just had foot surgery, he may or may not have something called &#;soft bone density&#; … oh, and he’s probably not going in the top three and might drop lower than that.
• Someone who entered Australian basketball witness protection one year ago (Dante Exum) and chose to avoid all competitive situations over playing college basketball somehow climbed into the top four.
• One of the most incompetent franchises of the last seven to eight years (Cleveland) has the first pick … and, of course, they can’t decide what to do because why would we expect anything less from Cleveland?
• Best of all, we have a consensus top four (Andrew Wiggins, Jabari Parker, Embiid and Exum), then a swollen se
