G. Miami. Lonnie Walker IV. 14. player. 73.

The Denver Nuggets have a glaring hole on the wing. Despite having a terrific young core which looks to be taking the league by storm, they are still missing one more wing to really hold eveyrthing together. Wilson Chandler was much too inconsistent this past season for this Denver squad. It is only inevitable for the team to move on from him and go a different direction. Adding a young and promising wing in Lonnie Walker would be the finishing touch on this rebuild process. He needs to be a bit more polished, but the raw talent is something the Nuggets should be intrigued by, especially when you possess a facilitator in the post with an insane skill set (Nikola Jokic.) Walker would be a solid “glue,” guy who can fill in nicely at his role for the Nuggets and would not need the ball all the time to be effective. With Denver being all the way down at No. 14, Walker seems like the smart pick.
