14. Denver Nuggets – Shai Gilgeous-Alexander, G, Kentucky

With the expectation that the Denver Nuggets will be losing Will Barton and Wilson Chandler this summer, drafting Shai Gilgeous-Alexander at No. 14 could help cushion the blow. SGA could provide the Nuggets with the versatility that they’ll be losing.

Even though it wouldn’t be fair for SGA to play a vital rotation role off the bat, his 6-foot-6 frame, alone with a 7-foot wingspan, could give the Nuggets all kinds of flexibility.

SGA has the size and skillset to fit the mold of the modern NBA guard.
