Kansas basketball: Christian Braun entering second NBA season with lofty expectations

Former Kansas basketball star Christian Braun, now an NCAA and NBA champion, has some big shoes to fill heading into his second season in the pros.

Christian Braun joined an exclusive group of players as a rookie by becoming the fifth player in history to win back-to-back championships at the collegiate and NBA level, joining the likes of Bill Russell and Magic Johnson. The Kansas Jayhawks product was a vital part of the Denver Nuggets’ finals run, and he should be in store for an expanded role during his sophomore NBA season.
