15. Denver Nuggets

Pick: Juan Hernangomez, G, Spain

This is probably a draft and stash prospect (potentially), but he’s one of the most talented forwards in this year’s draft pool.

Even though he’s one of the most NBA-ready international players, I still believe the Nuggets would like to keep him overseas for a year or two.

On the court, he’s a 6-foot-9 forward who is tremendously talented, but young. Hernangomez has all the tools to eventually be a really solid stretch forward in the NBA.

Hernangomez may want to make the move to the NBA now, but I firmly believe that the best move for him is to remain overseas.
