(Denver-CO) The Denver Nuggets never cease to amaze me on Draft night. While not having a first round pick, the Nuggets were able to finagle first round talent in the form of the 18th overall pick, Ty Lawson, from the Minnesota Timberwolves for a future first round pick. Then, in the most bizarre pick of the night by far, the Nuggets drafted Sergio Llull with the 34th pick overall while DeJuan Blair and Sam Young were still on the board. Llull's wiki page sums up my feelings on what could have been known as Tskitishvili part two. I digress, only because someone in the Nuggets draft war room probably got fired on the spot, because the Nuggets promptly traded Llull for cash considerations from the Houston Rockets who will most likely leave the unheard of Spaniard overseas for at least the next two years.
Thank you, Jesus!
The Nuggets tried to live up to their long history of draft day blunders, but luckily had the notion to think twice about drafting Llull and quickly found a way out of a nearly for sure laugher pick.
Regular posting to resume on Monday.
Go Nuggets!
