22. Denver Nuggets – Josh Green, G, Arizona

Josh Green may not have jumped off the screen during his freshman season at Arizona but could be a solid first-round pick for any team selecting late in the draft. Green makes a lot of sense for a team like the Denver Nuggets. Denver has some big financial decisions to make over the course of the next few years and it would be wise for them to add some depth to its backcourt.

Green averaged 12 points, five rebounds, and three assists while shooting 34 percent from the field. His consistency was a real concern during his freshman season and might be the biggest reason why he isn’t taken higher in the first round.

Though, Green has great size at 6-foot-6 and could develop into a good rotational player for the Nuggets down the line. He might not be a player that is ready to contribute right away but could be maximized in a good Nuggets developmental system.
