Looking forward to a bounce back year from Braun

I’ve held my Braun stocks for an entire year while everyone said sell. But guess what, He’s looking okay!!

He is not as bad as this sub will have you believe

Is he worth his contract? No imo, but he’s a good player on this team

Funny thing is when he signed the contract people were perfectly fine with it. A bit high but fine. The issue was he was hurt all year long with different things, and peyton watson had a really good one month stretch.

Watson could very well develop further and be even more awesome, but the highs we have seen from Braun so far are better than anything we've seen from Watson.

He's a fantastic transition player. That seems minor, but with Jokic, it's absolutely a weapon. He's going to be guarding the opponent's best wing, is always willing to book it down the floor, and finishes at the rim very well (that's not hyperbole, he's among the league leaders)

It also, amusingly, means he's nearly untradeable, because he's more valuable to the Nuggets than almost any other team

Same! Being healthy and having his bounce back will definitely help him have a bounce back year!

Just a casual play for Jokic

What a lackluster assist by jokic after that crosscourt behind the back lol

That behind the back cross baseline pass exactly into Cam Johnson's pocket was ludicrous.

These Jazz lineups with Nurkic + Lauri will have the worst transition defense in the league

Maybe Sean Payton could use a better QB than Nix. Just tell Jokic you got horses

Hope Braun is better this year, I like the player. I also like that his contact led to my Cavs getting Peyton Watson, so it feels right to root for him in turn.

nice ragebait attempt, you need to make it more believeable though

It's fun to go the bottom of the comments of every Jokic highlight to downvote this clown

Bring back hand checking and he wouldn't last 1 second against REAL NBA players. Dude belongs in Europe.
