Nuggets select French big Cornelie with No. 53 pick

The Denver Nuggets selected French big man Petr Cornelie with the No. 53 pick of the 2016 NBA Draft.

The 6-foot-11 power forward is an intriguing prospect as a stretch-four, particularly in this day and age. Cornelie is also an excellent athlete for his size, giving him the ability to both run the floor and protect the rim.

Of course, if Cornelie is ever going to be a complete player in the Association, the 20-year-old will have to add a ton of strength and improve his offensive repertoire in the post.
