NBA Mock Draft 8.0: Pistons take a gamble; Magic find their cornerstone

21. Denver Nuggets – E.J. Liddell, F, Ohio State

After somewhat of a lost season, look for the Denver Nuggets to revamp the roster around their three stars during the offseason. With another late first-round pick, the Nuggets could look to add depth to their frontcourt.

Late riser E.J. Liddell could be an option for the Nuggets. Even though he’s a bit limited and undersized, he could be a solid contributor in the right situation.

22. Memphis Grizzlies – Kennedy Chandler, G, Tennessee

The Memphis Grizzlies are absolutely a team on the rise and Ja Morant is only going to continue to rise to superstardom. Their success this season was just the start of what will likely be a decade of relevance.

Adding Kennedy Chandler with a late-round pick could help in the event that Tyus Jones is poached during the offseason.
