NBA Mock Draft 3.0: NY Knicks get franchise star; Blazers find help for Lillard

19. Denver Nuggets – Kendall Brown, F, Baylor

The Denver Nuggets have been one of the more stable franchises in the league over the past few seasons and they’ve been exceptionally great when it comes to the NBA Draft as of late. They seem to find hidden gems everywhere.

With another late first-round pick, it’ll be interesting to see how they approach this year. One potential player that could be in play is Kendall Brown, a 6-foot-8 freshman forward out of Baylor.

Brown is a fundamental player that is good around the basket. He just fits and is the type of player that every successful team needs. Brown is averaging 10 points and five rebounds per game on 61 percent shooting from the field.
