• Podcast Locked On Nuggets · 14 points · 24 h ago
  • Denver won the fourth quarter 37-18. A bench unit of Tyus Jones, DeMar DeRozan, Trevon Brazile, Aaron Gordon and Marvin Bagley III started the run. at 2:26
  • The hosts said the bench unit found something with Trevon Brazile and Aaron Gordon at the 3 and 4. After the bench run, the starters picked it up and forced overtime. at 2:42
  • The other host qualified that view: Trevon Brazile was being staggered. He came in early in the first quarter and sat to start the second, and that is when the unit's weaknesses showed. at 7:11
  • On media day, a host took David Adelman's comments to mean the rookies would not play. As the host understood it, Trevon Brazile popped once camp moved to structured scrimmages, in a way he had not in open runs. at 4:30
  • unnamed person who knows the team (reported): An unnamed person who knows the team well told a host before the game that Trevon Brazile played on a guard-dominant team at Arkansas. In this person's view he fundamentally changes when he has things to do. The host said Brazil's motor, a concern coming in, has popped. at 4:54
  • Trevon Brazile had not made a three in game one and, the host thinks, not in the first three quarters of this game. He made his first three in the fourth quarter and hit a clutch three in overtime. at 28:19
  • Host evaluation of Trevon Brazile: pretty good as an on-ball defender, with some concerns off the ball and in rotations. His length, athleticism, perimeter blocks and weak-side rebounding stand out. at 28:59
  • David Adelman (reported): Relayed from David Adelman: Trevon Brazile is still making a lot of mistakes but is doing enough to play. At the end of his press conference, Adelman said to stay patient with the kid. at 29:50
  • unnamed Nuggets veterans (reported): Unnamed veterans told a host they want to protect the rookie Trevon Brazile, because costly mistakes can hurt a young player's confidence. at 29:57
  • A host pushed back on calls to start Trevon Brazile: moving Gordon to the 3, bringing Cameron Johnson off the bench, or benching Christian Braun. at 30:42
  • A host said Trevon Brazile needs to play because he has been good enough; the open question is how big his role will be. The host predicts he will have a bad month at some point. at 31:06
  • A host said starting Trevon Brazile at the 3 while Cameron Johnson is out is a fine option. He also called it a good idea with Alpha Diallo out, and would be fine with it even if Diallo returns. The reasons for both absences were not stated. at 32:25
  • Late in regulation, Murray missed a free throw with a chance to win. Denver then got a stop on a trap by Trevon Brazile and Nikola Jokic. at 14:11
  • A host said Denver should use Murray both on and off the ball, but that this is harder when the 3 is Trevon Brazile instead of Cameron Johnson. at 19:09

  Nuggets kept two defenders/athletes on the floor at all times as they rotated out everyone except Nikola Jokic in the first quarter of the season. Trevon Brazile has eight rebounds in the first five minutes of his NBA career lol

  • Late in the game, Trevon Brazile defended while Jokic came around in what the host loosely called a trap, forcing a turnover. at 7:20

  • The host's opinion is that Trevon Brazile has been an instant-impact player through two games, with tenacious defense and athleticism. He says Brazile is establishing himself as a possible key role player or more, while cautioning that it is only two games. at 8:21
  • The host says Peyton Watson left in the offseason and Denver got a first-round pick for him. Through two games, he argues, the Nuggets are not missing Watson, given Brazile's play Trevon Brazile and Watson's salary. at 11:13

  • A host says Shai guarded Brazile, and that this is how Brazile got three offensive rebounds. He wants Denver to keep attacking whoever Shai guards. at 27:08

  • In the host's opinion, the Nuggets lost the game with a bench-heavy second-half lineup (Jamal Murray, Aaron Gordon, DeMar DeRozan, Diallo, Brazile as 'Brazil') that couldn't function. at 5:09

  • Matt Moore: The host describes Trevon Brazile as the backup four and says his minutes can help counter OKC's help defense. at 5:43
  • Matt Moore: The host says Spencer Jones spaces the floor adequately, but he doesn't know yet whether Trevon Brazile can. at 6:05
  • Matt Moore: The host's reasoning: OKC forces low-percentage shots, which DeRozan already takes and makes at a high clip. If DeRozan avoids turnovers, OKC will have to send help, opening dump-offs to Marvin Bagley III or Trevon Brazile. at 9:18
  • Matt Moore: The host thinks Spencer Jones helps a lot as a weak-side shooter when Jokic is doubled, and says it is fine too if Trevon Brazile can hit those shots. at 5:18

  • Snow Wolf (chat); host disagreement (reported): A chat member (Snow Wolf) said the non-Jokic minutes will be terrible and that Denver no longer has "Big Val" (identity not stated). The host disagreed, saying he prefers the athleticism of Bagley, Spencer Jones, Brazile and Diallo. at 25:57
  • Matt Moore: The host says the Nuggets have more athleticism than before (Bagley, Brazile, Diallo), that Gordon is in great shape, and that Christian Braun looks back to himself. at 21:20

  • Swipa: In the last preseason game, against the Lakers, Jamal Murray was the low man on Walker Kessler's roll twice. Brazile stayed in the corner, which gave real rim protection, and they broke up two straight Lakers chances at the rim. at 10:06
  • David Adelman (quoted): David Adelman said Brazile spaced much better in the Laker game than in the Clipper game early in the preseason. He added that Brazile also ran really well in the Laker game. at 15:55
  • David Adelman (quoted): Adelman said Brazile has to learn to find the ball earlier on offense. He was happy to see Brazile shoot confidently and look comfortable doing it in a real NBA game. at 16:19
  • David Adelman (quoted): Adelman said Brazile struggled a little guarding Hachimura in the Clipper game, a type of assignment he had likely never faced. He said Brazile is making strides in a lot of ways. at 16:36
  • Swipa: The host views Brazile as a main story of the season, largely because of what he can take off Aaron Gordon's load. He ties Gordon's care and maintenance over the season to Brazile's development. at 19:48

  • Matt Moore: The host thinks Brazile might be a real negative when he plays without Jokic, given his mistakes. at 5:59
  • Matt Moore: The host splits the Aaron Gordon sets by role. Brazile can run the dunker-spot sets; Spencer Jones can run the sets that space to the perimeter. at 7:30
  • For the OKC opener, a host sees Spencer Jones as a good defensive option on Jalen Williams, saving Aaron Gordon. The host would not put Brazile on him. at 8:47
  • A host notes Spencer Jones might take some minutes from rookie Trevon Brazile. at 10:41
  • Matt Moore: Matt's path to 11: Spencer Jones plays more minutes at the three and Diallo plays only 10-15 minutes. Brazile takes the backup-four minutes from Jones. at 16:47
  • David Adelman (reported): According to online postings from today's practice scrum, Adelman said they must be willing to trust Trevon, Bryce and maybe Cam Whitmore. The host says those were the specific players he named; the identities are qualified as likely Trevon Brazile and likely Bryce Hopkins. at 18:38
  • Proposal: Brazile plays three to four minutes in each of the first and third quarters, about six total. That leaves about 14 backup power forward minutes for Spencer Jones. at 22:00
  • The 18 minutes left for DeRozan are called not enough. One option is to give him Brazile's six minutes, so DeRozan plays 24 and Brazile does not play. The speaker calls cutting Alpha Diallo's minutes and giving them to DeRozan the most likely outcome. at 23:27
