No. 13 Denver Nuggets- OG Anunoby (Indiana, SO, Small Forward)

If it wasn’t for the torn ACL OG Anunoby suffered in January, there would be little debate if he was worthy of a lottery spot.

OG has great speed, is quick on his feet and can be a terror on the defensive side of the ball. Defense certainly was an area that Denver lacked in many games last year. A long wingspan and good size (6-8, 230) allows him to play power forward – perhaps even the center – in small ball lineups.

His offense is a work in progress and his health might be a red flag, but I think the Nuggets should take the risk.
