#2 Alex English

Alex English was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks in the 2nd round of the NBA Draft with the 23rd pick. He was traded to the Indiana Pacers as a free agent and then again traded to the Denver Nuggets for another great second round pick, George McGinnis.

English averaged 26 points per game during the 10 years in spent in Denver. That 11-year span of scoring domination only saw English score under 21.0 PPG once, which was his final season with Denver in 1989-1990, where he averaged 17.9 points per game. English scored 2000 points for eight consecutive seasons. That speaks volumes about a second-round pick.

English reached the NBA Finals one time in his career where he lost to the Showtime Lakers in 5 games. He was the highest-scoring player during his heyday, something that can never be broken.
To this day, English is still the Nuggets all-time leading scorer. He is considered to be one of the best players to ever touch the hardwood and might be the best player to ever wear a Denver Nuggets uniform.
