While the Denver Nuggets have the bones of what can be a very good and effective team in the NBA, there are naturally somethings that are missing, as evidenced by the fact that they fell short in the playoffs after being eliminated in the first round by the Minnesota Timberwolves. 

One of those deficits in their roster is three point shooting, not necessarily due to a lack of talent, but rather a lack of aggressiveness from the Nuggets.

In fact, they had the best three point percentage of any team in the NBA during the regular season at 39.6%, so efficiency clearly isn't the issue. Rather, it's how often their actually shooting triples is the problem as they were middle of the pack during the regular season when it came to three point attempts per game.

Beyond Jamal Murray, there aren't many truly aggressive three point shooters on the Nuggets, with most of the team preferring to live in the post or through drives, but giving up an entire aspect of the scoring game in basketball, especially the way that the game is played today, puts Denver at a severe disadvantage.

That was especially revealed in the playoffs when the Nuggets did shoot poorly, going just 31.1% from beyond the arc, third-worst out of any playoff team. 

It's going to be hard to win games like that and the Nuggets need to invest in adding more three point shooter and a recent mock draft from ClutchPoints predicts the Nuggets to do exactly that with the 26th-overall pick. 

ClutchPoints projects the Nuggets to select Christian Anderson Jr., a sophomore point guard out of Texas Tech.

"Anderson's range is currently viewed anywhere from 16th to 26th, with the Nuggets seen by many as his floor in this draft simply because his 3-point shooting matches what this team is lacking," Brett Siegel wrote. 

Anderson had an outstanding sophomore season, averaging 18.5 points, 3.6 rebounds and a conference-leading 7.4 assists while shooting 47.2% from the field and 41.5% from three point range to earn himself an AP All-American Third Team selection. 

The most promising aspect of Anderson's game is, naturally, his aggressiveness. While the Nuggets this past season were a team overall hesitant to shoot the long ball, Anderson Jr. averaged 7.9 three point attempts per game and pairing that with his 40%+ efficiency from beyond the arc makes him a promising scorer. 

He's somewhat under the radar, especially in a draft class that's full of talented guards and with that in mind it's plausible that he could fall all the way down to the Nuggets' selection and give them an opportunity to pick up an impactful scorer to add to their back court.
