SF. Justin Jackson. 13. 73. .

Denver can literally go anywhere on draft night with a roster of young pieces, but I have them going with the national champion in Justin Jackson.

Denver could lose Danilo Gallinari in free agency and could put Wilson Chandler on the trade block. This would open up some wing minutes for a younger prospect on the wing like Jackson.

Jackson stands at 6’8″ with a 6’11” wingspan with a frame that can play 2-4 in the new NBA. He can score from the outside and off the dribble as he displayed as the best player on the national champion, North Carolina Tar Heels.

He would join the young core of Jokic, Murray, Harris and more moving forward.

110. . . PF/C. Zach Collins. 14

Even though Miami has Hassan Whiteside locked in long-term in the middle, Collins is talent that some have rated in the top 10.

Collins came off the bench last year at Gonzaga but proved to be their best overall player as the season went along. He didn’t show an outside shot much last season, but some believe he will develop that over time.

He would take over the backup role to Whiteside and would be a nice, young piece moving forward.
