The biggest question mark on the Nuggets’ roster is the backup point guard spot, and in a few of their losses, they’ve shown a jarring inability to hold onto the ball. But on Saturday night, with a few guys out, Bruce Brown stepped into the backup point guard role perfectly, dishing out 10 assists with only one turnover.
When Russell Westbrook left in free agency, the Nuggets never truly filled his spot. Going into the season, they have just Jalen Pickett as a true point guard behind Jamal Murray. Bringing Brown back was thought to help, as we famously saw him lead bench units during the 2023 title run.
