The former Kansas guard won an NCAA championship in 2022 and NBA crown his rookie season with Denver in 2023.
In fact, it became even more so, once Christian Braun realized it was a trend and not a one-time occurrence. “It's always mandatory for the first-, second-, third-year guys,” Braun said. When the Nuggets are on the road, there's often an 8 a.m. bus to the gym for these informal opportunities to get extra shots up. This is Braun's second season in the NBA.
Arguably no team in the NBA has a starting five with as much high-end talent and lineup balance as the Denver Nuggets. On the season, the unit of Jamal Murray, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope, Michael Porter Jr., Aaron Gordon, and Nikola Jokic is a +13.1 points per 100 possessions over the course of 1831 non-garbage time possessions (per Cleaning the Glass). Denver had a similar problem last year.
