From an NBA standpoint, Peat didn’t have the most convincing campaign with the Wildcats, but he still felt good enough about his stock to stay in the draft. That could be to Denver’s benefit, since it wouldn’t typically have access to a prospect who was so well-regarded before the season.
To be clear, Peat has some real worries, namely everything connected to a funky shooting form that might require a complete rebuild. That said, he has real NBA skills, too, especially as a powerful inside-the-arc play-finisher and quick-processing passer. He aced his role on a great team at Arizona, and maybe the Nuggets think he could do the same for them.
