Live coverage of the 2016 NBA draft from The Denver Post, including live updates, picks around the NBA and selections from the Denver Nuggets.
“I do think you reach a line where you have too many young players, too many projects. I think there’s a good balance between developing players (and) established players (on the roster). My guess is that we’ll keep trying to employ that strategy. But you never know. If there’s a young player that we really like, we don’t want to limit our options.”
— Tim Connelly, Denver Nuggets GM
