The
Denver Nuggets made a big splash on 2026 NBA Draft night, sending pick #26 to the San Antonio Spurs for pick #35 and two additional second-rounders. They then used the 35th-overall pick to select Trevon Brazile, a hyper-athletic forward from the University of Arkansas. Brazile is one of the best athletes in his entire draft class, who can fill multiple roles on offense and make big plays defensively.
Denver
wasn't done on the second night of the 2026 NBA Draft. They also selected Bryce Hopkins with the 49th overall pick out of St. John's University. Hopkins enters the league with NBA-ready body at 6-foot-6 and 218 pounds. He's an extremely physical offensive player, who can carve out of space on drives to the rim with his strong frame. Five years of collegiate experience has turned Bryce into a very composed player, as he knows exactly what he's good at on the court. He'll fit in seamlessly with a team
that's looking to capture its second championship in five years.
