2018 NBA Mock Draft: Collin Sexton could break open the New York Knicks’ ceiling
Cedevita. Dzanan Musa. 16. player. 73. . F
Out with the old, in with the new. Denver lost Danilo Gallinari to Los Angeles this summer, but they won’t have to wait long for his replacement. Musa falls a little in this edition, but he makes complete sense within the context of Denver’s roster.
On Sunday, Musa went off for 19 points in 28 minutes and continues to score efficiently despite not making a 3 for the past two weeks.
The Nuggets are slowly moving past veterans like Kenneth Faried, Darrell Arthur and Wilson Chandler in favor of younger players. Will Barton could leave this summer. Musa could slide in for this probably playoff team and get buckets right away, helping make the team even longer and more versatile in the process.
Denver creates mismatches at point guard and center already, using Jamal Murray and Nikola Jokic in flip-flopped roles to antagonize traditional game plans. They could go further down that avenue with a player like Musa, who could play either forward position on offense and stretch defenses to their limits.
