Five point guards the Denver Nuggets should be targeting in the NBA Draft

1. Tyler Ulis

Experience: Sophomore     Size: 5-foot-9, 155 pounds

Last Season: 17.3 points; 7.0 assists; 3.0 rebounds; .434 FG%; .344 3P%

At first glance, it may be hard to understand why Ulis isn’t viewed as a top-10 selection. He put up all the numbers, he led one of the best teams in the nation and he has the it factor you want to see in a highly touted prospect.

And then you realize that he’s my height — which is not a positive for someone pursuing a career in basketball — and it starts to make more sense.

At 5-foot-9, there are serious questions about Ulis’ place in the NBA, but here’s what I know: The kid can flat out ball.

And after watching Isaiah Thomas earn a trip to the All-Star game this year, I’ll take my chances on a little point guard that can light it up from anywhere.

If Ulis is available when the Nuggets come on the board at 15, they should strongly consider selecting him; he could be their sixth man for a long time to come.
