Players for the Nuggets to Look at for Each Pick

The Denver Nuggets have 3 upcoming picks in this NBA draft and there is a loaded talent pool right around where they pick. Last year they drafted Hamilton at 26 and he didn't even play.

At number 20.

1. Quincy Miller SF Baylor- Ty Lawson like Miller and was petitioning for the Nuggets brass to draft him at this pick. If they did the Nuggets would be crowded at SF, but Miller is young and has plenty of talent so maybe he could crack the rotation in his 2nd year.

2. Terrence Jones F Kentucky- If the Nuggets drafted Jones they would be looking to replace Al Harrington with him in the future. They are almost the same type of player size and style of play wise. Sometimes Jones settles for too many jumpers, but he can hit them.

3. Marquis Teague- Teague lead Kentucky to a national championship last year and if the Nuggets don't have faith in Julyan Stone they may choose to take Teague. Teague would back up Ty Lawson, but he has enough potential that he could end up being a top rate PG so the Nuggets could also use him as trade bait.

4. Perry Jones III- This is a sleeper pick if Jones falls this far. It is a possibility since Jones has been falling down mock drafts recently due to his inconsistent play. Jones is a long SF who can also play some PF much like Harrington although Jones is a much better player right now, or at least he can be.

At number 36.

1. Tomas Sotaramsky SG Czech Republic- This would be a nice pick since they could stash him overseas for a couple of years.

2. Darius Miller F Kentucky- Miller is a nice role player and even though the Nuggets have enough of those he could find a nice place on this team

3. Kyle O'Quinn C Norfolk State- O'Quinn made his stock store in the tournament last season. The Nuggets could use a player like him to use in their rotation.

At number 50

1. Tu Holloway PG Xavier- Holloway would add depth behind Stone and Lawson if the Nuggets don't go the PG route with another pick.

2. Henry Sims C GEorgetown- Again the Nuggets could use another big man and this is the place to find and develop one.
