NBA Draft: Worst pick every current general manager has made

Worst NBA draft pick Denver Nuggets general manager Calvin Booth has made: Zeke Nnaji

Welcome to the first of a few far too soon reactions to what the worst pick for a general manager is. Calvin Booth was hired in this role by the Denver Nuggets in July of last season, meaning he has only been involved in the most recent draft. Booth drafted Zeke Nnaji with the 22nd pick and RJ Hampton with the 24th pick.

At this point, RJ Hampton is just the better player and he was taken after Nnaji. Hampton was also one of the key trade pieces to bring Aaron Gordon to the Mile High City at the trade deadline and has started to flourish with increased minutes with the Orlando Magic.

This is not meant to be a slight on Zeke Nnaji. He has shown flashes in the few minutes he has gotten for the Nuggets and should be at least a decent bench player in years to come. The current thing setting him apart from Hampton is he is slightly rawer and is getting significantly less run.  This is the type of comparison that will have to be checked in on down the line to see how each player has developed, especially considering the culture of development the Nuggets have established.
