2016 NBA Mock Draft: What Happens After Simmons and Ingram?
By Jay Siskin
Luwawu is a wing who has good size for a shooting guard. He is also an above-average athlete and defender. But with his size he can develop into a better defender. Luwawu’s length and size is appealing to NBA teams.
NBA teams are in love with his ability to shoot from beyond the arc, shooting 40 percent from 3-point range. His size and three-point shooting ability makes him a possible lottery pick.
Having solidified their depth at wing and the front-court with Jaylen Brown and Deyonta Davis, this would be a great chance for Denver to further strengthen their shooting on the wing.
At pick 19, he’s a nice option for the Nuggets. With Will Barton and Gary Harris on the roster this would allow Luwawu at least two or three years to develop further down the road. Luwawu has shown he has NBA potential against a high level of competition across the pond in Europe.
