While they may seem like vastly different players, Bruce Brown and Russell Westbrook actually occupy similar space on the basketball court at this point in their careers. So, when the Nuggets rushed to bring Brown back to Denver at the start of free agency, that was as good a sign as could be that they didn’t intend on bringing Westbrook back.
It looks a lot different, but the output ends up being fairly similar. Russ is a domineering point guard and does what he does a lot more loudly, but when you peel back the curtain, there are endless similarities.
