The Nuggets have a big decision coming up on Christian Braun, but there really shouldn’t be much to think about on their end. They must do what it takes to get an extension done and make sure the pivotal young starter stays in Denver for the rest of the Nikola Jokic era.
Braun has been everything a team could want after drafting him late in the first round in 2022. He has steadily improved, going from a deep bench player to a sixth man to a starter this past season. He fit perfectly into the starting lineup, giving the team a young, athletic punch, fueling their perimeter defense and transition game.
