Draft picks

Round Pick Player Position Nationality College 1 26 Tarris Reed C United States UConn 2 49 Bryce Hopkins SF United States St. John's The Nuggets entered the draft holding one first-round selection and one second-round selection. The latter was originally owned by the Atlanta Hawks and acquired from the Brooklyn Nets as the least favorable selection after Atlanta finished the previous season with a better record than the Los Angeles Clippers. They had traded their original second-round pick to the Phoenix Suns in a 2024 trade and was ultimately used by the Chicago Bulls in the draft as Denver finished the previous season with a better record than the Golden State Warriors.
