Assuming that all teams' rosters were cleared and there was a draft with the Nuggets having the 16th pick, who would you guys pick? The following players would be unavailable.

Chicago: Rose
Portland: James
Cleveland: Howard
Dallas: Durant
Miami: Griffin
New York: Wall
Utah: Wade
LA Lakers: Deron Williams
Orlando: Paul
Golden State: Anthony
Boston: Bryant
San Antonio: Nowitzki
OKC: Westbrook
LA Clippers: Love
Phoenix: Curry
Denver: ?

Why do the Nuggets get 16?

I would probably take Aldridge.

I based the draft order on attendance figures.

Aldridge, Bosh, Gasol, Bynum, Noah, Love have to be at the top of the board. I'd go Bynum, as he is one of the few true centers and if healthy is probably the second most dominant center in the NBA. The elite pg's are off the board, so it's about getting a position that will be harder to find in the later rounds.

If Denver was worried by his injuries and character, then going for someone like Love, Noah or Aldridge make more sense.

Maybe Al Horford or Aldridge... Or Marc Gasol.

Aldridge. It's really not even close, in my book. Closest second would be Evans or Amare.

LMAO at PHX taking Curry at 15.

I think the biggest lmao is Rose at 1.
