Denver Nuggets: 5 options for pick No. 58 in 2018 NBA Draft
By Ty Delbridge
If the Denver Nuggets actually keep the No. 58 pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, here are five potential prospects they could consider.
The Denver Nuggets have one of the youngest and most talented rosters in the NBA, with guys to build around like Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and Paul Millsap. They head into this summer after a disappointing end to the 2018-19 season. For the second straight year, the Nuggets are in the back half of the lottery.
They own three draft picks in the 2018 NBA Draft, with selections at No. 14, No. 43 and No. 58. They have a chance to select a good player with the 14th pick and can hopefully find some hidden gems with their two picks in the second round. The Nuggets could also use their draft picks to acquire talent on another roster or to move up in the draft for a player they like.
It has been reported by ESPN‘s Adrian Wojnarowski that the Nuggets may look to package the 14th pick with a player in hopes to shed some money for this offseason when Jokic is eligible for an extension. The Nuggets have a couple of different routes they could go on draft night.
With that being said, we are going to assume the Nuggets keep their draft picks and take a look at what they should do their pick at No. 58. In the late second round, Denver should be searching for players that maybe slipped and just the best player available on their board, regardless of position. Here are five different options for the Nuggets at No. 58.
