After grabbing their third-overall prospect in Jamal Murray at No. 7, the Denver Nuggets felt good as they came on the clock with the No. 15 pick, and they felt even better after several teams reached for some questionable players in front of them, leaving guys like Henry Ellenson, Wade Baldwin and Skal Labissiere on the board.
In the end, they selected the Spanish forward, Juan Hernangomez.
The Denver Nuggets will pick Juan Henangomez with the No. 15 pick in the NBA Draft, league source tells @TheVertical.

Hernangomez, who can play both the power forward and small forward positions, is a sharpshooter who adds to the Denver Nuggets’ all-international roster.
As of right now, there’s no telling whether Hernangomez will come over this season, but if he does, he can fill the stretch-four position the Nuggets have been looking for.
