The Denver Nuggets, who have been quiet in recent NBA Drafts, may have a chance to select Baylor wing Cameron Carr with the 22nd overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft. Carr, a 21-year-old redshirt sophomore, had an impressive season for the Bears, averaging 19.2 points, 5.5 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.9 steals, and 1.3 blocks per game while shooting 39.4% from 3-point range.
Why it matters
The Nuggets, who are set to pay five players over $21 million next season, could use a high-impact prospect on a cheap four-year contract. Carr, with his combination of size, athleticism, and shooting ability, could be a steal if he falls to Denver in the 20s.
The details
Carr has a 7-foot-1 wingspan and the ability to drive and finish over taller defenders. While his defense has been a concern, his physical tools suggest he could develop into a high-level two-way player. The Nuggets would be taking a chance on a big riser in this year's draft class, which is expected to be historic.
- The 2026 NBA Draft is scheduled for June 26, 2026.
