Nuggets rookie Christian Braun hasn’t been around for long, but he knows the party line.
As the best team in the Western Conference heading into Thursday’s matchup against the Golden State Warriors, Braun said the Nuggets were deserving of numerous All-Star nods in this month’s exhibition in Salt Lake City.
“We need multiple,” Braun said after Thursday’s shootaround. “Obviously, we’re the best team in the (West) right now. … Guys like Aaron (Gordon), guys like Jamal (Murray), they deserve recognition for the things they’re doing night in and night out.”
Two-time MVP Nikola Jokic has already been named an All-Star starter.
