WRG 2011 Mock Draft - #22 Denver Nuggets

JR Smith, Wilson Chandler, and Aaron Afflalo are all free agents. This will lead to a big decision about where we're going at shooting guard. We're set at PG with Ty Lawson, but we aren't sure who his backcourt mate will be. After this pick, we know who it will be, and we cannot be more thrilled.

Alec Burks was widely regarded as a lottery talent, so to snag him with the 22nd pick is nothing short of a miracle. We love the fact that he's so adept at driving to the hole and getting to the line, complimenting the sweet outside stroke of Danilo Gallinari. This makes our offseason even easier, as we don't have to worry about our SG problem. On top of all this, Burks went to the University of Colorado! Our fans already love him!

We'll take the tall one.
