Now that the season has concluded with the Mavs winning the championship, it is time to start gearing up for the NBA Draft. That's right folks, the NBA draft is Thursday, June 23rd and the Nuggets have the number 22 pick. Who should they take? A strong rebounder in Kenneth Faried? A wild card combo guard in Josh Selby? Perhaps a real flier on big man Jeremy Tyler? These are just some of the intriguing players projected to be available around the time the Nuggets draft. Let this fanpost be the spot where we share our thoughts on who we should take or trade on draft night.

Hmmm, on second thought
Draft Express has the Nuggets picking Iman Shumpert. and I’m totally good with this pick.
With the quality of this draft (or lack thereof) I’m assuming any decent Big (with even imagined potential) is likely gone, before the Nuggets pick.
Faried and a decent PG.
"All you fuckers who think we won't be good anymore, fuck you" - GK
Afflalo is Boss.
I like both Faried and Shumpert
I would love to get a rebounder. Even though Faried is undersized, rebounding translates well from college to the pros. Shumpert would provide us with that tall PG that can also play off the ball when Karl will undoubtedly go with his 2 pg lineup.
It's a weak draft in general.
If this pick ends up not panning out, I don’t think anyone would be surprised. As it is, I think you go for an immediate impact player with limited upside (Faried), try your best to fill a potential hole (Shumpert) or go for a high risk pick and not really worry too much if it ends up being a bust (Tyler).
Honestly, I think the best thing for the Nugs would be to try to use the pick to help get a team to take Harrington’s contract.
Signatures are for wimps.

Tyler one of the few I've read about..........No interest in him.
But you did acknowledge his bust potential.
i too have little interest in him
They say he was a top 5 recruit before he dropped out of high school to play in Israel. Of course a lot can happen between junior year top 5 recruit from high school and the NBA – if I remember correctly Vincent Yarborough was one of the top 3 recruits from his high school year and we all know how that worked out…
I'd be cool with
Faried, Shumpert, Jenkins, Nolan Smith, or Selby. Mostly just glad we’re actually (likely) going to draft SOMEBODY!!!
Shumpert
Faried will be gone by 22, Shumpert will be an excellent backup option in years time. We don’t even have to deal Felton for this to be a good pick as it is Felton is now an expiring contract and not likely to resign with the team after next season
Why live life on the edge, when you can jump off?
Anthony from bondage will deliver Gallinari
and by calling it now do you mean you just read it on hoopshype?
I hope they do though. Felton is only going to be a distraction and we don’t need Lawson looking over his shoulder either. They seem to be high on Biyombo. I have my concerns but if he turned into Ben Wallace the Nuggets would be defensive stalwarts. I heard the Spurs are targeting the same pick
they're offering Tony P
wonder whats more desirable to Sac.
Tony P, a proven veteren(29) winner, but on a 4 year deal worth an average of 12.5 a year.
or felton, a younger (27) but still veteren leader, one a 1 year deal worth 7.5 Mil.
