The NBA Draft doesn’t usually see too many guys take dramatic tumbles, but one was had by former Michigan State guard Gary Harris Jr, who was projected to be picked in the top 10 but slid all the way out of the lottery and to the Denver Nuggets at No. 19 overall.
It’s an interesting pick as the Nuggets just today re-acquired Arron Afflalo but no one knew that Gary Harris was going to be sitting at No. 19 overall for the Nuggets.
Fans took to Twitter to react to the pick, one that many believe was the first good decision of the night for the Nuggets.
silver looked at gary harris like, “i could take you to the post.”

The Denver Nuggets have Arron Afflalo and Gary Harris now, so that's interesting.

Great and I said I wanted the Bulls to draft Gary Harris too…

That’s damn good RT @JADubin5: So the Nuggets traded McDermott, Fournier and a 2nd for Afflalo, Gary Harris and Nurkic, then.
