When the Nuggets saw projected lottery pick Bol Bol fall into the second round of last week’s NBA draft, they moved quickly to snatch up a prospect they coveted. But it came at a price.

A league source confirmed that the Nuggets sent $1.2 million and the lower of 2022 second-round picks between Denver and Philadelphia to the Miami Heat in exchange for the 44th overall pick in the 2019 draft.

The 7-foot-2 1/4-inch Bol declared for the draft despite playing in just nine games of his freshman season at Oregon. He averaged 21.0 points, 2.7 blocks and nearly 10 rebounds per game in his limited college career.

As a result of the trade, the Nuggets do not have a second-round pick until 2023. They have all of their future first-round picks.
