Nuggets GM Calvin Booth has numerous levers to pull ahead of Thursday night’s NBA draft, which will be Booth’s first as the Nuggets’ primary-decision maker.
Specifically, general manager Calvin Booth has numerous levers to pull ahead of Thursday night’s NBA draft, which will be Booth’s first as the Nuggets’ primary-decision maker. The Nuggets enter the draft armed with the Nos. 21 and 30 overall picks.
When Booth assumed responsibilities nearly a month ago in the wake of Tim Connelly’s surprising departure to Minnesota, it took him only a few weeks to execute his first trade. He sent veteran forward JaMychal Green and a 2027 first-round pick to Oklahoma City in exchange for this year’s No. 30 and two future second-round picks.
If Booth does hold onto his selections, expect Denver to target experienced players with two-way capability. Unlike rebuilding teams, young, unproven prospects won’t do much for the Nuggets this season. Older prospects may hold more appeal to Denver than normal.
