Denver Nuggets
Best: Carmelo Anthony
No NBA championships for Denver. However, they did grab the Syracuse star with the third pick in the 2003 draft. The 6-8 forward can score and did just that in seven-plus seasons in the Mile High City before forcing a trade to the Knicks.
Worst: Mark Macon
In 1991, Denver grabbed Dikembe Mutombo with the fourth overall selection. Four slots later, it chose the Temple guard off a stellar college career. Only problem was, the 6-4 guard never progressed at the next level. He played two seasons in Denver before being dealt to Detroit and continuing a pro career that went nowhere.
Melo was good, but personally I think it was arguably McDyess or Mutombo were the better picks although technically he was a Clippers pick on a draft night deal for the Nuggets. McDyess was a great 2 way player that should have been a superstar, until the injury. Of course i think everybody knows about Mutombo and Melo.
As for the worst pick, I don't know how anybody could call Macon the worst pick in franchise history, on a team that drafted one of the biggest busts in NBA draft history. macon at least developed into a decent defender Skita was a higher pick and was terrible at the game of basketball, with no on court redeeming qualities.
