The Denver Nuggets hit the lottery during the 2014 NBA Draft. Despite famously getting selected during a Taco Bell commercial, Nikola Jokic was selected with the 41st overall pick and has panned out to be the best player in his class by a mile. Jokic has become the best player in franchise history, winning three NBA MVP awards and leading the Nuggets to their first championship in 2023. Michael Porter Jr., a star forward who was traded to the Brooklyn Nets this offseason, continues to have high praise for his former Denver teammates.
