14. Denver Nuggets

Biggest Need: F

Dream Selection: Kevin Knox, F

With Wilson Chandler likely coming off the books after this season (he holds a player option, which he will likely decline), the Denver Nuggets could select a small forward in order to prepare for such a move.

And at this point in the draft, Kevin Knox would be the selection. Knox has shown his potential to be an explosive scorer throughout his tenure at Kentucky.

In the right situation, Knox could really help a team like the Nuggets. I don’t think Knox is ready to be a day 1 starter, but he could build up to be.
