Juan Hernangomez . 19. player. 73. <p>With three first round picks in the top 20, the Nuggets will have plenty of flexibility on draft day whether they keep the picks or make a trade or two. If Denver chooses to keep its picks, then finding a potential draft-and-stash option with their final selection makes quite a bit of sense.</p> <p>20-year old Juan Hernangomez is an excellent option for that route because his contract with Estudiantes is up at the end of the season giving him the option to sign with a top tier European club to develop overseas for a year or two. Hernangomez is a potential stretch power forward option who plays with good aggression due to his time playing center for his current team. He has been a good catch-and-shoot three-point shooter, making 37.9 percent of his threes this season. He should be a nice pick-and-pop option offensively at the next level, allowing his team to space the floor for their offensive attack.</p> <p>He is still a work in progress physically and he’ll need to add some strength in order to do battle against some of the NBA’s biggest power forwards, but Hernangomez is overall an intriguing prospect given his youth and skill set.</p> <p><em>To read more about Juan Hernangomez, <a href=.
