It’s the final weekend before the NBA regular season begins, which means you’re coming here for your fantasy basketball drafts.
Should you draft Christian Braun this season? Here’s the latest outlook, projections, and rankings for the Denver Nuggets Shooting Guard.
Should You Draft Christian Braun in Fantasy Basketball?
Christian Braun was one of fantasy basketball’s most pleasant surprises last season, delivering efficient, across-the-board production in an expanded role. Braun posted career highs of 15.4 points, 5.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.1 steals, and 1.1 3-pointers per game while shooting a blistering 58.0% from the field across 79 appearances.
The high-energy slasher will have to compete for wing minutes with offseason additions Bruce Brown and Tim Hardaway Jr. in the 2025-26 campaign. Such a timeshare could lead to a slight dip in his statistical output.
Still, Braun will once again benefit from starting alongside arguably the league’s top playmaker in Nikola Jokić. That, combined with his category-friendly profile, should still make him worth a seventh to ninth-round selection in standard formats.
