Christian Braun

Draft Notes

Christian Braun looks the part of a solid role player/contributor on the wing at the NBA level. He’s highly efficient, plays a team first game and really gives great effort on both ends of the floor.

He plays with his head up, keeps the ball moving and shows an overall nice feel for the game. He’s not a star and doesn’t need a high volume of shots.

Has solid driving ability which compliments his excellent 3pt shooting (39%) and helps keep the defense honest.

Doesn’t project as an elite defender but gives good effort, plays team defense and won’t be a liability on that end. Sticks his nose in on rebounds and isn’t afraid to mix it up.
