What Should Denver Do with Pick No. 22?

In 2005 Denver drafted Jarrett Jack with pick No. 22 and traded his rights to Portland for Linas Kleiza, pick No. 27 (yay), but also Julius Hodge with pick No. 20 (ouch). The 20's are not always roaring. All forecasts at this point will turn out hilariously wrong anyway, and it's important to write them down so they can't be denied later.
My feeling is that the Nuggets will be looking for someone to replace J.R. Smith : a scoring-oriented guard who can create his own shot. We won't get JR's talent level with pick No. 22, but a pure shooter who's not a head-case ought to be out there, particularly if he comes from a smaller school or is slightly undersized (say 6'2", 6'3"). Place your bets!
I presume Kenyon Martin will walk too (via free agency), but I I'm not too sure we need to replace him - we have quality bigs looking for minutes. So the second type of player I would seek is a point guard with size who can play defense, and there will probably be something available. Whether it's Reggie Williams, Nolan Smith, Charles Jenkins or Darius Morris. We'll have to see some workouts, but I want wild predictions now. What will the Nuggets' draft day strategy be? And who will they pick?

Kenneth Faried
He’s an undersized PF, but he’s a rebounding machine. I know very little about College Basketball, but what I do know is that rebounding translates extremely well to the NBA – Kevin Love, DeJuan Blair, Paul Milsap – all are undersized PFs with great to good rebounding skills.
Kenneth may be gone
The draft boards are putting him anywhere from the end of the lottery to the beginning of the second round

this cbs sports mock draft has us taking tobais harris.. which i could see happening since he might be the last player i’d want us to draft (then again I despised the ty lawson draft day trade so what do i know?) Dream scenario for me would be having a player like Jordan Hamilton who is very versatile or a lock down defender like chris singleton (had to give my FSU alma mater some love) fall to us which is highly unlikely… What about taking a stab on the potential of josh selby?
I wouldn't mind it
Because Selby is more of a scoring PG and would be a good contrast to Ty, but at the same time, Ty is gonna be playing a lot of minutes and who knows what the deal is with Felton. I think there would be better options, but again, I wouldn’t be disappointed because Selby is a huge sleeper.

i dont know about 22
but we should get on the phone ASAP and start calling Minny. They want to move pick 2.
we cld do something like sign and traded WC or felton or add whatever needed but i wld love to see Derrick williams, or Enes Kanter here.
no
but the team has to make decisons. Gotta go Gallo or Wc, having both is nice, but we have too many other holes to fill, we need to use are excess assets at pg and SF to try and patch up our frontcourt.
we are too small
and dont rebound well enough, Okc exposed that weakness.
i do like WC though, and would prefer to try and move Felton first for help beofre WC,
Nugs have plenty of size
…but it was on the bench in the playoffs. After a year of practice and “maturity”, I expect Karl to play Moz, and perhaps Koufos, regular minutes next year. This may be too much to ask…but I wouldn’t give away Chandler in a weak draft. Felton, perhaps, but not Chandler.
they'll get more play
but do you think a Moz, Kouf, Nene, Birdman frontcourt rotation is going to get it done in the west, im doubtful, we need a young atheltic PF type to complement Moz, Kouf, and Bird and to be the scoring athletic big when Nene sits.
Plus getting someone who can rebound would be nice.
If there is growth by Moz and Kouf
…and they play. I do think that can get it done in the west…at least in terms of a big/tough front court. I do agree that the Nugs could use a PF though…especially one that can score. I’m just conservative and I will take a known young talent like WC over an unknown draft pick talent that isn’t a top 5 player in a weak draft almost every day.
that's true
but the team needs to acquire a go-to scorer that they can give the ball to down the stretch who can get his own shots. I’m not sure Chandler will ever become that type of player. However, I’m not sure we can get that player in the draft either. I don’t know much about Derrick Williams (provided we traded for #2) to make that assessment.
Trades
one thing to remember is that with the new CBA coming, teams many not be able to make player for pick trades before the draft. That is how it was for the NFL this season – they couldn’t trade any players at the draft, only picks.

hmm
intersting.
I havent heard anything like that.
It also seems different since the NFL had multiple rds of picks to make trades work.
While the NBA only has the 1st rd, and future picks (2nds barely matter), and only a couple teams have multiple picks to make trades work with.
I'm not sure
I’ve looked an been unable to find anything that says for sure either way. There is an espn insider article that says the wolves want to move the #2 pick for veteran help, so perhaps player for pick trades are allowed.

Huh
I always thought once the trade deadline passed you couldn’t trade anybody until free agency. Or maybe that was just the deadline to extend players. Yeah, that was definitely it, which is why signing and trading Chandler isn’t a very likely scenario. First off, he’s probably gonna want to see what he can get on the free market or chose his own destination. Also the with the new CBA we could be facing a lockout which, like TID says, would prevent trading on draft day. The thing is, (I just realized this), because he’s restricted, whatever team gets him could match whatever he gets. I just don’t know, there’s so much crap to consider.

i dont think u can trade restricted players
but u can trade players under contract. i doubt there will be very many moves though (players for picks) because of the uncertainty regrading the new cba. we can trade felton, bird, fat al, etc. but we cant trade kmart, jr, chandler, aaa.

i dont think we can extend felton until after 6/30, but by then, there will be a lockout. we’re basically stuck.
i want nogueira at 22. i almost think we should tank next season so we can get a lottery pick. im not sold on danilo carrying us…yet.

Teams will be able to trade any and all players
The NBA draft is scheduled to take place on June 23rd, the collective bargaining agreement does not expire until July 1st
Why live life on the edge, when you can jump off?
Anthony from bondage will deliver Gallinari
at 22
we should go big though, best big available,
hopefully the brazilian, but id take tristan thompson too.
I think Tristan will be long gone
I would love to see us trade up to #2 for a derrick williams, but realistically what would you say the chances are of us doing that? maybe .3%?
I could see
Markieff Morris of KU potentially falling to us though
jordan williams
is apparently looking better, dropped from 13% body fat to 8%. cld be a tough inside presence.
Nolan Smith
Need a backup PG to replace Felton (Who I expect to get traded this summer so he can start)
MOZGOD Member #35
id rather have
selby than smith give an athletic, slashing scoring complement to Lawson.
marshon brooks
chad ford is giving him high praise
“Every year I stumble across a player that causes me to radically re-evaluate where I have them ranked. This year that player is Providence guard Marshon Brooks.
Within minutes of walking into the gym, it was clear that Brooks was playing at a completely different level than I’m used to seeing from college prospects. As I moved over to Grover, I began to grill him.
“Who does he remind you of?” Grover grinned. I was afraid to answer. Grover smiled and said, “There’s a little bit of Kobe in him, isn’t there?” He had read my mind.
When you consider that Grover trains Kobe, that’s high, high praise.
Brooks was dominant this year in the Big East. He averaged 24.6 ppg while shooting an impressive 48 percent from the field. He had one of the best player efficiency ratings in the draft. He dropped 52 points on Notre Dame, 43 points on Georgetown and 33 points on Alabama. Every time he did it with scary efficiency. In the 52-point outburst against Notre Dame he was 20-for-28 from the field. He also proved to be a terrific rebounder, recording seven double-doubles this season. "
wow that is high, high praise
maybe we can purchase an early 2nd round pick and draft him.

I was gonna write an article detailing this exact scenario
Brooks is a huge sleeper in this years draft. People are comparing him to Kobe because he’s so smooth, but there’s a lot of differences in their games too. Brooks just operates like he’s always one step ahead of everyone, yet when you watch him everything seems so impromptu, like he just pulled it out of his ass. There’s no doubt though that this kid won’t be a sleeper much longer. I’ve already read that he’s gonna move into the first round when it’s all said and done. Honestly, even at No. 22 I’d give him a look. He’d be a perfect replacement for JR.

yeah I'd give him a look at #22 absolutely
Who else are we going to draft, a boring big with limited upside like Jordan Williams? I think Brooks is exactly what we’re looking for in this draft (that obviously being contingent on what we do with JR/Chandler)

move on up
I think our new front office will try to be as active as possible coming into the draft. I am not totally sure what rules govern trading picks, but I can see the FO moving Felton in order to pickup a combo guard with length. Swap with sacramento maybe? Theres gotta be some others looking for a vet at point.
Kenneth Faried
out of Morehead State! (If he is still available) or Harris out of Tennessee.
JR sign somewhere else, so we can get a guy who is not so Bi-polar.
Trade Chandler and Felton for another shooter.
If Jimmer is there he would be a great shooter to fill in for JR. I would like to package the pick with Felton and move into Minnys spot at #2 or the caves at 4 and get that kid from AZ!
by soloking on May 18, 2011 11:40 AM MDT via mobile reply actions
NOOOOOO Jimmer
dude is a good scorer but I don’t want any more players on this team that don’t play D. Maybe he could replace JR’s scoring but that’s it. People tend to forget that JR brought a lot more to the table this year besides scoring
Draft the best player available IMO
not a strong enough draft to base our pick on needs… although I would prefer a scoring big or a good PG to back up Lawson (assuming Felton is traded…fingers crossed)
My picks
First off, we need height or scoring off the bench, preferably at the SG position because we just don’t know what’s going to happen with JR or any of our bigs.
I like Harris as a player, but we already have Gallo and Harrington locked down for years, and maybe Chandler will be too, so I just see no point in drafting another SF, plus, Harris will likely be gone before then as his stock is rising.
Kenneth Faried and Lucas Nogueira should undoubtedly be No. 1 and 2 on our board, end of story. These guys are two of the best bigs in the draft and would help us enormously in an area of need. That said, there’s a damn good chance both will be gone by our pick, so we need a backup plan, and that should be to just take the best player available. If that’s the case, then Reggie Jackson (CO native who’s extremely athletic and can play the one or two), Nolan Smith, Josh Selby, Tyler Honeycut, Davis Bertans, Justin Harper, Travis Leslie, Marshon Brooks, Darius Morris and JuJuan Johnson will all likely be on our radar. If I had to guess, I’d say Jackson outta BC is our best bet with Nolan Smith right behind.

Faried!
I read Lakers would trade Lamar Odom for Felton. We could package Big Al and take Odom for SF backup.
If that happens, then we don’t need WC, and the Knicks want him back. They may be sending us Landry FIelds for him. I take him as AAA’s backup at SG now!!
Next, considering Nene resings Kmart and Felton leaves, what do we still need? PF and PG.
We could try to trade Bird plus some picks (we have GSW 2nd round picks the next to years and we don’t need it) and Melo’s trade excepcion (if it is possible) for a PG in a team in need for bigmen and experience.
As I really think we should overpay Marc Gasol and the Grizzlies unwilling to match a high offer, maybe we could take O.J. Mayo from them too. Without Gasol they’re gonna need a big and they are also in a very big need for cap and Melo’s trade excepcion would help them in this point.
THEN… we pick KENNETH FARIED to backup Nene in the moment and be our star in the future! Yeah, I bet he’ll be very succesfull in NBA.
Looks like Minny wants out of Number 2
Sign and trade Nene, add Felton and the 22nd pick for the 2nd and Johnny Flynn. Flynn is a great back up to Ty. We take Derrick Williams with the 2nd overall pick because Kyrie Irving is going 1 to Cleveland. Minny wants to move down. It gives them number’s 20 and 22. They get a Center to play alongside Love in Nene and a good starting Point guard to mentor Rubio when he decides to come to the NBA.

sry but no reboundr in starting rotation,harrington+draft pick 2 the hot atl 4 either j.smith or horford, then birman 2 magic 4 bass str8 up.
magic due the trade w us,bc they nd a bck up C til vasquez is ready. ATL trades w us 2 get a bck up pf,bc both horford&j.smith want 2 start.
Not bad
I’d definitely consider it, but I don’t like giving up our No. 22 pick. I’m tired of trading picks; the best teams build through the draft, and if we don’t start we’re gonna be screwed.
I like this idea though because we’d be building a young core with Ty, AAA, Williams, Gallo and Moz. Thing is, I highly doubt Nene would sign an extension to play in Minnesota and Felton would bounce first chance he gets too, but it’s something to consider for sure.

It’ll be interesting to see what minny does since they really have no need for derrick williams.
We Must Draft MARSHON BROOKS!
im tellin all a you, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity.
He is a superstar who has almost gone unscouted, he is projected to be at the 21st pick in the 2nd round.
Dude is Kobe 2.0
Haha, chill
If he was Kobe 2.0 he’d be going to the Cavs at No. 1 in about a month. Just because he has similarities in his game to Kobe, does NOT mean he is Kobe.
Is he a sleeper? Yes. Is he likely going to go further than he should because he played at a smaller school? Yes. But this dude ain’t gonna alter the future of our franchise and carry us to a few titles along the way, I can guarantee you that.

They say rebounds translate well from the NCAA to the NBA, but not from players who play weak competition, Faried would not do so well if he played in the Big Ten or ACC, and that is why he went to the smaller school to play against smaller players, inflated stats, I’d imagine he would have a lot of trouble on the NBA level.

Agreed
I actually hate the idea of taking a player that can’t play defense. But Jimmer can stroke it, and we still need that perimeter game, especially if J.R. leaves. Also, Jimmer can score off the dribble and create on his own, which we also really need. I’m in the camp that thinks if Jimmer improves his passing game, he could be the next Steve Nash… kind of. But he’ll be good… I think.

Jimmer is so much better than Reddick it's not even funny
He’s a ten-times better athlete and scorer, and has WAY more potential than Reddick ever did. Even if he was just Reddick though, that’s wouldn’t be a bad pick.

Kobe he ain’t, but he can ball. If he’s there at 22, I say take him. If not, Reggie WIlliams, Charles Jenkins or even Justin Harper. I doubt Faried willbe available.
Harper needs to put on 10-15 pounds of muscle, but he is certainly a big that can shoot – potential stretch 4 Channing Frye type.
we need a big
that can bang not shoot.
we have ample offensive weapons,
we need defense, rebounding, rebouding, toughness (especially if unable to resign Kenyon), and some more rebounding.

they should look at trading felton to get into the lottery to get a legit PF prospect (ie marcus morris or tristan thompson) and also look at drafting either marshon brooks (to replace jr), lucas nogueira (to hang with his brazillian brother nene), kenny faried (to add toughness and replace kmart) or reggie jackson (as back up pg) at pick 22
I think Felton will be traded. His salary isn't bad and there is no reason to have him and Ty on the same team
Having 5’11 and 6’0 on the court at the same time is crazy. That is a shorter backcourt than we ran in highschool.
We don’t have a second round pick this year do we ?
LA has 4 of them so maybe we could get one for cash or something.
im starting to
like that Tyler kid who skipped finishing HS and College to play euro and japan ball. He could be undervalued( like jennings was)
Trade felton with the pick.
Felton+#22 for Rip Hamilton+#8 This way we replace JR with rip and move up 14 spots.
or Harris. I think he would be good for the nugs
Very good.
I like it.
