It's funny how so many of our guys are the leading scorers of their high school and college teams yet when they get to the nba they don't
get to shoot much with a few exceptions and it's almost always european guys as they can make more money for the league overseas.
I was looking at Christian Brauns minutes. He has averaged 14 minutes a game for the whole season. That was too much so the last 10 games
they reduced it to 13 minutes. They have alot of talent in Denver but this kid deserves at minimum 20 minutes plus a night. Oh to be young,
white and athletic. You can jump out of the gym but no team wants you to show that.
Again like I've said like a broken record over and over that the league does now want white guys that play above the rim.
Just imagine if he was on a white friendly team like Utah, Washington or Sacramento? Maybe even Miami? What a waste of elite
talent and the only way you can show your stuff is to play more.
I said it with Kessler early in the year when they wouldn't play him. Lucky for him they were short handed and it worked out for him. Look
what our guys can do with 30 minutes a night. I have no doubt Braun would already be scoring 10 to 15 points a night as a rookie and then
the sky is the limit once he is used to the faster pace of game. The kid with his shooting, defense & scoring could be a potential all star in
2 or 3 years but only if they play him and let him develop like they do with young athletic black players.
I was going to mention after one of the Braun dunk videos that he needs to quit flexing after dunks or he will spend more time developing on the bench or be out of the league. I have no doubt these high flying white guys are on a leash and Grayson knows it which is why he is still in the league
