Love this trade for the Nuggets. I’ve heard from some of the pods I listen to that there’s good amount of depth in that area of the draft for prospects that are more ready for the NBA. Good chance for them to snag some cost controlled bench pieces. Very good for the Pacers too because they had too many draft picks this year.
It’s not the 27th+ pick. It’s the worst pick of what they got from OKC (Houston, OKC, Utah, LAC). So it could be a pick in the teens-20’s most likely.
Pacers had like 5 picks in this year’s draft. (7, 26, 29, 32, 55). They are basically kicking the can down the road a little bit and will be able to bring in multiple rookies next year, instead of 5 rookies this year, which they don’t have the roster room for.
