Projected to go:Β No. 13 overall to the Denver NuggetsΒ
He said it:Β "The Denver Nuggets bring in Lauri Markkanen to score and shoot alongside Nikola Jokic.
"That's Markkanen's calling card in the pros. He doesn't offer much rim protection or a physical presence inside, but his perimeter shot-creating and shot-making skills are highly advanced, particularly for a 7-footer.
"He hasn't worked out for Denver, though it shouldn't matter, assuming the Nuggets' scouting department did its homework. Without any medical or character red flags and a game Denver's lineup could use, Markkanen makes enough sense with Danilo Gallinari opting out."
