Floor spacing is not going to be<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-news-denver-adds-more-depth-behind-nikola-jokic-with-latest-signing" rel="noopener"> ideal for the Nikola Jokic</a> and Jamal Murray-led mile-high team given their roster. Moreover, they are unlikely to make a free agency nor pick someone up from waivers given their current salary cap. A lot of it will bank on player development of their young guns and asking them to step up. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/nuggets-news-stephen-curry-swallowed-alive-peyton-watson-leaves-denver-fans-euphoric" rel="noopener">Peyton Watson is expected to be</a> one of these players. His 2023 NBA Summer League is a good indicator.</p><p>Second-year players make the jump in Las Vegas. The rookies become well-adjusted to the NBA. They often get to show that their rookie performances are night and day against people duking it out for a roster spot. This is true for many players who experienced playing an NBA Playoffs game like Sacramento Kings’ Keegan Murray. There are more expectations for NBA Championship rookies because their system had just reached its full potential. Michael Malone had developed talents like Nikola Jokic, and Jamal Murray into the champions that they are without altering too much of the core. He is likely to do the same with Peyton Watson.</p><h2>Peyton Watson’s 2023 NBA Summer League</h2><p>The young gun took a huge leap from his rookie form. He only saw the court in 23 games and started twice. His minutes were not enough sample size for his capabilities. Only 8.1 minutes were given to him and these became smaller in the playoffs with 2.8 minutes. Peyton Watson had to perform which rewarded him with 3.3 points per game on a fairly solid 49.2% field goal percentage. Furthermore, his three-pointer improved from his college days as he is now shooting a 42.9% three-point percentage. These statistics lack much volume and experience because he was on the G-League team for most of the season.</p><p>A massive improvement was to be expected from Watson. He did deliver when given the green light. His scoring numbers went all the way up. Peyton Watson averaged 19 points per game on a highly efficient 52.2% field goal shooting percentage. He has also gotten the hang of being a decent defender. His on-ball defense rewarded him with 1.5 blocks and 1.5 steals per game.</p><h2>The Bruce Brown vacuum for the Nuggets</h2><p>Nikola Jokic, Michael Malone, and Jamal Murray are looking to make another run at the Larry O’Brien trophy for the 2023-24 season. However, they lost more than they gained during the offseason. Specifically, the departures of Bruce Brown, Jack White, and Jeff Green hurt the team. Watson is expected to emulate the same role that Bruce Brown took over during their championship run. It is still up in the air whether he might be able to do it.</p><p>Bruce Brown got 11.5 points per game on a highly efficient 48.3% field goal shooting. His three-point stroke was not ideal but it was serviceable at a 35.8% shooting percentage. Paying him nearly $45 million for two years would be a bit much given the level of production he gave to the team. The Nuggets were just unwilling to have that salary cap dent and lack of flexibility.</p><p>Peyton Watson has the best capabilities to step into that shooter role given his style of play. He only needs to work on his shot and its volume. His defense and off-ball movement is already present. The Nuggets just have to make sure that he does not slip back into his UCLA Bruins shooting form where he only knocked down 22.6% of his shots from beyond the arc.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Jokic shouldered most of the load last season with Jamaal Murray and Michael Porter Jr injured. And Jokic led Denver to the postseason despite the team’s injury-plagued roster. But the Nuggets understand they need players around the two-time reigning MVP if they want to make an NBA Finals run. They selected Christian Braun and Peyton Watson in the 2022 NBA Draft. But can these two young players contribute during the 2022-2023 NBA season?</p><p>Let’s take a look at 3 predictions for Braun and Watson in their rookie seasons.</p><p><b><i>Watch NBA Games LIVE with fuboTV (<a href="https://www.fubo.tv/stream/nba/?irad=356361&amp;irmp=492408">click for free trial)</a></i></b></p><h2><b>3 Christian Braun, Peyton Watson predictions for rookie seasons with Nuggets</b></h2><p><b>Christian Braun makes All-Rookie team</b></p><p>Christian Braun was selected 21st overall by the Nuggets. Although some are worried about bust potential, I believe he will benefit from playing alongside Nikola Jokic.</p><p>The 6’6 forward features sneaky athleticism and he is a quality jump shooter. His three-point shooting will be vital to his success in the league. He shot 44 percent from beyond the arc as a freshman in college, but was unable to replicate that in the following years. Nonetheless, he has shooting potential.</p><p>And there should be no shortage of open looks with defenses focused on limiting Jokic (and Murray as long as he stays healthy.)</p><p>Look for Christian Braun to make an impact early in his Nuggets career.</p><p><b>Peyton Watson plays key role in 2022</b></p><p>Christian Braun stole most of the headlines for the Nuggets in the 2022 NBA Draft. But Peyton Watson should not be overlooked.</p><p>Watson, a 6’7 forward, was selected 30th overall by Denver. His versatile skill set will suit him well in the NBA. He isn’t the kind of player who is going to drop 25 points per game off the bat. But he will score a little bit while dishing out assists and grabbing rebounds. His IQ of the game will be beneficial for the Nuggets as well.</p><p>Most people aren’t sure what to expect from Peyton Watson in his rookie season. But I believe he will end up playing a big role off of the bench. His all-around game should help Denver’s second unit perform well.</p><p>Watson recently spoke on his mindset in the NBA Summer League, <a href="https://gazette.com/sports/denver-nuggets/denver-nuggets-rookie-peyton-watson-puts-it-all-together-in-second-summer-league-game/article_f83f9692-00c3-11ed-bb03-5ba88970f2b8.html">per the Gazette</a>.</p><blockquote>“I’m just out here proving something to myself, you know? I don’t care what anybody else says on social media or how people try to paint me,” Watson said. “I know who I am, I know what I can do, and this is more so me proving to myself that I’m still that player and I’m one of the best players in this draft.”</blockquote><p><b>Braun and Watson prove they are key pieces to the puzzle</b></p><p>I expect both Christian Braun and Peyton Watson to excel in their respective roles this season. Neither will immediately emerge as a star, but they will be important pieces to the Nuggets overall puzzle moving forward.</p><p>And as aforementioned, Denver simply needs depth around their stars. So the Nuggets certainly had a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/denver-nuggets-2022-nba-draft-grades-for-every-pick/">solid overall 2022 NBA Draft. </a></p><p>It wouldn’t be surprising to see Braun emerge as a star at some point down the road. He has the potential to become a dynamic scorer in the NBA.</p><p>For now, Braun and Watson will aim to help Denver make a deep playoff run.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
