If there's one thing that's for certain with the Denver Nuggets, it's that they hate the draft. They absolutely loathe it. The last pick the Nuggets made was in 2006 when they selected Leon Powe with the 49th pick. (Powe was traded to Boston shortly after)
The Nuggets have the 34th pick this year, having traded their first-round pick to Oklahoma City). My gut says get a high-energy point guard to build on next season.
Here's who should be available when the Nuggs pick:
• Jeremy Pargo, Gonzaga, 6-2, 219
Started off career as a two-guard, but made the transition to point after the graduation of Derek Raivio. Pargo is certainly high energy, athletic and flashy, reminiscent of another former Nuggets point guard, Robert Pack.
• Darren Collison, UCLA, 6-1, 166
Lightning quick and smart, Collison helped lead the Bruins to a 26-9 record last year. What he lacks, however, is size. He'll need to bulk up if he wants to compete at the next level.
• Dominic James, Marquette, 5-11, 180
Explosive athleticism allows him to play much bigger than 5-11, but size is certainly a question mark.
