Pickaxe and Roll: How Denver Nuggets can get more from Christian Braun next season

Christian Braun struggled with a significant ankle injury for much of the season, and it made finding success very difficult. The Denver Nuggets gave Braun a significant contract extension in the previous offseason, and Braun’s continued development is a critical point for Denver’s present and future.

Can Braun bounce back as Denver’s long term starting shooting guard? I think there’s absolutely no question that he can and likely will.

On the latest episode of Pickaxe and Roll, Ryan Blackburn breaks down the Denver Nuggets shooting guard position and assigns season grades to Christian Braun, Tim Hardaway Jr., and Julian Strawther. He goes over Denver’s next steps at shooting guard and identifies some free agency and trade targets for the offseason.
