Nikola Jokic has 21 points, 12 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal on 9/11 shooting in the first half. Fellow teammate and draftee Gary Harris has 8 points on 3/3 shooting and 2/2 from the line. Nuggets up 64-53.
If they redid the 2014 draft, does Jokic go #1 over Embiid? Does Embiid still goes 2nd, health be damned? That draft class is looking insanely deep although it has suffered a lot of injuries. Still way too early to judge the draft definitively though. It's so hard to rank all these players I wouldn't even know where to start. So many guys would move up that they really wouldn't move up in the end. The only guys besides Jokic that would give me pause taken after Marcus Smart are Nurkic and Gary Harris but there are a lot of players that will have long careers.
