The Denver Nuggets lucked out in the 2014 NBA Draft by landing Nikola Jokic with the 41st overall pick, as the 6-foot-11 Serbian center ended up being a generational talent. Of course, no team expects their second-round draft pick to even be an All-Star, but Jokic has cemented himself as an all-time great.
So is Anthony Edwards, the Timberwolves' top player, but his status is uncertain for Monday after he left Sunday's game early because of tightness in his right hamstring. Edwards later returned to the bench in street clothes as the Timberwolves held on for a 114-110 home win over the Indiana Pacers.
