He was my vote for guy most likely to be helped the most from the tournament and I figured that could get him to late 1st but I really didn't think he'd go this high which imho is too high but I guess the Nuggets are trying to fill the role Jerami Grant had. I don't think Braun will give them that totally but he should definitely help. Good for him

He’s been so good. Sometimes a prospect surprises you with how different they end up than you thought. I liked Braun his Freshman year but mostly thought he would be a great shooter. Turns out he’s a stud on the other end of the court.

I was right about 3 point shooting. I expect to be right about Tacko Fall. Some coach will figure out how to use Tacko Fall. This movement towards undersized centers will sweep ng back. Back to the basket scorers will return to the NBA.

I didn't think his athleticism would translate to the NBA.....I was wrong.

pre draft last year I could never understand why he was rated lower than his team mate Agbaji as an NBA prospect

He was an elite finisher going towards the basket at Kansas too.

Agbaji might turn out the better NBA player of the two, but I preferred Braun
