14. Denver Nuggets – Kevin Knox, F, Kentucky

With the uncertainty that revolves around Wilson Chandler and Will Barton, the Denver Nuggets, who also don’t have a ton of wiggle room financially, could draft a player like Kevin Knox to prepare for the loss(es) of their upcoming free agents.

Although he struggled with his efficiency, Knox showed the ability to be a go-to scorer while with Kentucky. The good thing is that he won’t have to be that with the Nuggets.

In Denver, Knox will be able to find his footing without needing to produce right away. It’s actually a good landing spot for the former Wildcat.
