In the shadow of Nikola Jokic’s postseason brilliance, one of the more interesting stories developing in Denver right now has to be on the minds of the Chicago Bulls front office and decision-makers as they prepare for free agency. The story I’m referring to is, of course, none other than Bruce Brown‘s breakout performance.
After spending four years in a middling role with both the Detroit Pistons and Brooklyn Nets, Brown has really come into his own on a prove-it deal for a team with genuine championship aspirations like the Nuggets. The former second-round pick has completely defied all expectations and is playing like a starting-caliber player for a roster that has no shortage of two-way assets.
