Denver Nuggets General Manager Calvin Booth on the three rookies selected from the 2023 Draft Class
Following draft night, Denver's general manager Calvin Booth spoke to the media regarding the vision when the organization drafted the three rookies.
“I think every single one of these guys at some point during the season, coach (would) maybe feel comfortable putting them in the game," Booth said. "If we have injuries or if they play really well. I like to utilize the draft to get archetypes that are hard to get in free agency or the trade market. I feel like all these guys up here on the stage are unique.”
The 29th pick Julian Strawther talked about his admiration for how Denver plays for one another.
“They play the right way," Strawther said. "They play for each other. I feel like in today’s age of basketball, that’s kind of getting lost, you know, playing for one another and playing to win. Being able to join an organization that’s all about winning, all about each other, I mean, it’s a blessing.”
Jalen Pickett on the other hand, talked about his excitement to play alongside Jamal Murray and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope as he is a 6-foot-4 guard entering the league.
“I’m really excited to play behind guys like Jamal Murray (and) (Kentavious) Caldwell-Pope, who have been consistent starters in the league and who have been on championship teams," Pickett said."You get behind guards like that just to learn and see what type of work you have to put in is going to be really big for me, and I can’t wait to get started.”
Denver's rookies are no slouch with their respective games, making them a trio to watch out for during the summer league.
