Marquette’s Tyler Kolek goes up for a basket against North Carolina State’s Mohamed Diarra during the second half of a Sweet 16 college basketball game in the NCAA Tournament in Dallas, Friday, March 29, 2024. The Denver Nuggets possess the No. 28 overall pick in the upcoming 2024 NBA Draft, which will take place across two days for the first time this year: June 26-27. If the Nuggets use that first-round pick, who will they take? We react to the recent barrage of mock draft projections here.
In theory, Filipowski can provide a jolt of frontcourt offense to the bench with his face-up game. He has an impressive handle for a center, he sees the court well, and he’s a skilled passer. But the identity of Denver’s second unit is switchability at one through five, and Filipowski is more susceptible than Holmes to being exposed on the perimeter. Wingspan relative to height isn’t as notable either. He is, however, more battle-tested by his college competition.
The year before he transferred to Cal, he shot 40.2% from three when he was less relied upon at Texas Tech. Now, if his ability to create separation and knock down shots was better, he obviously wouldn’t be in the discussion at No. 28, so drafting someone with his profile risks him being an offensive liability rather than an asset. But maybe that’s a chance the Nuggets need to take for their scoring-starved bench unit.Renck: Uh-oh, Nuggets.
