15. Denver Nuggets

Pick: Furkan Korkmaz, SG, Turkey

The Nuggets could greatly benefit from a shooter in the draft and even though Furkan Korkmaz isn’t a name that many will know on draft night, he fits the bill. Korkmaz is an excellent shooter and is only 18 years old.

The only problem with taking Korkmaz is that he’s probably a draft and stash player for a year or two. Though, with three first-round picks, the Nuggets are probably seeking to stash a player or two. Korkmaz could be one of them.

As stated earlier, there probably is no better team at drafting overseas talent than the Nuggets right now. Korkmaz could be their next steal.
