Christian Braun has solidified himself as one of the best transition players in the NBA. Moreover, he is also one of the most underrated young players on the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets understand this and have reportedly agreed to a five-year, $125 million contract extension with the young shooting guard. Braun entered his career as a bit of a developmental project but has massively surpassed expectations. He has improved year after year and has even become a more polished shooter. A huge step for the former Kansas Jayhawk who came in more known for his perimeter defense and hustle. With this in mind, the Nuggets were smart to extend the young shooting guard before the market for young players like him skyrocketed.
