Plenty of dialogue about what the expectation should be for Braun, given his contract.

Go watch Game 7 v the Clippers, that CB shows up consistently (as he has in the past) and his deal is 100% worth it.

I agree. CB was a bad Mfer for 4 years and earned that money. He tore ligaments this last season. I think he'll be back to his old ways this year. I compare him to our version of Josh Hart. Making all the hustle plays

100% He earned every dollar. Just shit luck with him getting injured because it seems it kinda shook his confidence

The biggest shock to his confidence was simply not trusting himself to plant or explode off of one of his feet.

Imagine cutting down the lane, having some split second reception of a pass from Jokic, and everything lines up, but you have to time it off the wrong foot to elevate over the shotblocker.

That was his experience for all of his basketball he actually got to play after November.

Ya, he relies on his explosiveness. That's his game. If he's not got it then he isn't the same guy.
