Is Mario Hezonja a good fit for Denver Nuggets at the 5-8 pick?

Denver needs 3pt/outside shooting and depth at SG/SF

Want a perspective from non-denver fans

He is the best fit for them out of the top4 (Okafor, Mudiay, Russell, Towns) by far.

decent fit, not sure he is worth a 5th. pick. Don't know much about college prospects, but I would imagine there would be something better. I just not a huge believer in Hezonja. I just don't see it. Yeah, if he can sustain his ridiculous 3 point shooting, then you have something. but I think his skill and especially athleticism are overrated.

He's not an SG. Way too big. He's a Gallinari-like player, though not nearly as experienced/skilled. As a 5-8, pick, I think he's a fine 5-8 pick, but don't expect him to be a good starter in his first year due to defense.

It will be interesting to see how he performs in pre-draft work outs in May/June

He reminds me more of a young Manu Ginobili than Gallinari. Do you think he and Gallo's skill set could co-exist? Hezonja at the 3 and Gallo at the 4?

I don't think Ginobili is a good comparison. Ginobili is much smaller and quicker. They don't look the same using the eye test.

As for Hezonja and Gallinari at the 3 and 4, rebounding would be a big concern.

^^Thanks teerfour.

Denver needs to stop winning meaningless games :banghead:

Sounds risky, might be best to trade the pick. Utah will gladly trade you a later pick and some cash. Everybody needs cash.

Is there a chance the Nuggets would trade their lotto pick this year for the rights to the Knicks lotto pick this year from the Raptors?
