i was praying braun would have a breakout year
Nah Braun is fine. He is putting up ok numbers and is quite solid on defense.
The thing is that Braun does what he is supposed to do well enough, but they are missing shot creators and vets.
The bench might seem terrible, but on an individual level it is quite solid. Full of guys that can do what they were brought in to do. However its clear that the bench is focused way too much on defense and athleticism. Im guessing the Nuggets focused a lot on improving the defense and they didnt bother looking at their other weaknesses.
It makes it look like the Nuggets dont have depth, whike in truth they can easily swap out everyone during the game besides Jokic and Murray.
In all honesty the whole Nuggets roster is full of great roleplayers, but they are mostly not all that versatile.
Along with that Jokic is missing his partner so he is a single threat on the offense which is easier to counter compared to when he has Jamal.
Honestly if we had a guy like CP3, wed be in a lot better of a position. Honestly any sort of decent point guard would do the trick.
