Brazile’s Rise Threatens Nuggets’ Rookies | Denver Nuggets News
About this episode
Trevon Brazile's impressive performance in Summer League is putting pressure on the Denver Nuggets' rookies to secure their positions.
Trevon Brazile is blowing up in Summer League like a lottery pick, dropping 32 points with 6 of 12 threes and dominating the floor — forcing DaRon Holmes and Zeke Nnaji to fight for scraps behind Nikola Jokic. With Marvin Bagley III already in the mix, Brazile’s shooting and athleticism are making backup center minutes a nightmare to secure. Holmes, sidelined all rookie season with a torn Achilles and barely playing 8 minutes last year, and Nnaji, a six-year vet averaging under 4 points and 2 rebounds, are suddenly in a tough spot. The Nuggets haven’t given rookies meaningful minutes since Christian Braun — but Brazile might be the one to break that trend. His emergence is reshaping the roster’s depth chart, and the pressure is on Holmes and Nnaji to prove they belong.
