11. Denver Nuggets – Zach LaVine
The Nuggets are, once again, another team that is actively shopping their pick. According to reports, they have had a lot of offers trying to get it. Another report said that the reason the Nuggets could be wanting to get rid of their pick is because of the fact that they would like to make a run at LeBron.
Denver is a real long shot to be able to get LeBron, and I am pretty certain that he won’t land there. With that being said, LaVine would be a great fit in Denver.
If you look at his NBA player comparison, he is drawing comparisons to Russell Westbrook of Oklahoma City. He is long, he is athletic, and he can jump out of the gym. He could come in and play next to Ty Lawson, which could push ex-Jazz man Randy Foye to a sixth man role.
Denver wants to move the pick, but I am not sure they will get it done. Instead, I see LaVine landing in Denver and fitting in quickly.
