Follow usDenver Nuggets player Christian Braun has agreed to a 5-season, 125 million dollar rookie deal extension with the organization.
The guard, who was the 21st selection in the NBA Draft 3 years ago, and now his future will be with the franchise, as the Nuggets did everything possible to secure the extension of the basketballer, as they see him as part of their future.

Christian became a full-time starter and averaged over 15 points in the past campaign, up from 7.3 points in the previous season, while also recording over 5 boards, almost 3 assists, and shot almost 40% from the 3-point range in 79 games, as 77 started from the 1st minute on the court.
Braun is a crucial part of the current roster that features stars like Nikola Jokic and Jamal Murray, as he became the 1st basketballer with at least 400 fast-break points in a campaign since Buddy Hield 8 years ago.
Denver, at the same time, is not expected to ink an extension with Peyton Watson ahead of today’s deadline, as Peyton was the 30th pick at the draft 3 years ago.
