Christian Braun representing Kansas basketball strongly in NBA Finals

Former Kansas basketball standout Christian Braun had the best game of his young NBA career in Game 3 of the NBA Finals.

Two Kansas Jayhawks were selected in the first round of the 2022 NBA Draft, and the No. 21 pick Christian Braun is doing something that no one could have seen coming for him as a rookie — making winning plays in the NBA Finals.

Braun spent three years at the university, averaging 14.1 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2.8 assists as a junior. After winning a national title in Lawrence last season — the school’s first since 2008 — he officially declared for the draft.
