Christian Braun shows leadership, says Nuggets “have everything we need”— is he right?
Christian Braun made headlines with a bold claim: as long as the Nuggets have Jokic, Jamal, and Aaron Gordon, they “have everything we need” to win a championship.
But is that actually true? The Drive breaks down Braun’s confidence, the reality of Denver’s roster, and why the Nuggets’ path to a title may require every single green light — AG staying healthy, Jamal returning to peak postseason form, DeRozan hitting, young players contributing, and the core avoiding any regression.
