Always wondered why he wasn't given more minutes, before the game I said he would be a big factor if given the chance. He's a high IQ glue and hustle player and an extreme athlete. A 40 something inch vertical and great defense. I thought Duncan should've gotten time like game 2 as well especially to start the 4th when they needed to comeback. They lowkey almost pulled it off before that Bam pull up, bad shot all things considered

And also he's been good in transition historically but when they have transition opportunities, they don't go to him.

Before this game started i was liking what i saw from him. It is not always about stats. On defense he always seemed to break things up and lock down his man.

When you play team basketball looking for the right plays, then a rookie can shine like anyone else.

87.5 FG% pretty crazy for a rookie in the finals

You could definitely tell in the regular season that Braun would be an impactful NBA player for a long time. Excellent combination of athleticism and basketball IQ. Glad he had a breakout performance in such a pivotal game.

To be a contributing member of a contender, a true roleplayer, as a rookie, shows a lot of character.
