[Highlight] Trevon Brazile, the 35th overall pick in the 2026 NBA Draft, scores 32 points (11⁄19 FG, 6⁄12 3PT) for the Nuggets in their 106-103 victory over the Thunder at Vegas Summer League.
Can’t wait for him to average 4.7 minutes during the season
That high? Adelman wouldn’t play a rookie if his entire team was injured. Probably would find some random vets in the crowd
Nuggets had 28 starting lineups last season and Adelman is a coach that actively tries different rotations to see what works.
It’s more so because of injuries rather than giving opportunities. He kept playing Bruce Brown when he had a streak of 0 points instead of young players who showed promise.
Which young players? Daron Holmes?
Bruh we didnt have a rookie
Username checks out
Anyone from the Malone coaching stream hates rookies or g-leaguers.
He DNP’d Hartenstein even
Hart sucked during his time in Denver. He was always fouling.
He put too much pressure on Hartenstein and didn’t know how to use him properly. Once he left, his fouls went way down. It’s not something he learned from his time in the Nuggets lmao.
Also goes to show how good of a coach Daigneault is, cus he actually believes in his players.
His foul rate went down every year of hos career early on and Denver was just a stop in it. His foul issues just got better every year regardless of team.
Dude couldn’t play
He fouled too much for the Cavs and Rockets too. He started to slow down with the Clippers and really found his playing time with the Knicks.
Our GM had to trade Torrey Craig so Malone would start MPJ lmao
Adelman is not quite that bad, just seems to not like playing Da’ron Holmes at all
He completely regressed in the playoffs as a coach, just refused to play dudes like Strawther or Zeke at all even when ANY change would have been helpful. It was agony watching gassed Jamal out there putting up bricks like forty minutes a night.
He completely regressed in the playoffs as a coach,
He’s part of Malone’s shitcoaching tree. It was expected. He’ll probably get worse this upcoming season. I hope I’m wrong.
Probably the craziest regression from a coach of all time. It was straight downhill for Malone after 2023. Guy forgot how to coach. Lost the whole locker room too.
The worst move was probably to keep the rest of Malone’s coaching staff (Adelman and a couple others), which obviously doesn’t yield good results..
Malone in 2023 had MPJ as the main offensive threat with the bench in the Minnesota series round 1. Got a ton of shots throughout the playoffs. 2024 comes around and he had him sitting in the corner so 40 year old reggie jackson could cook. Drove me nuts
As a MPJ supporter myself, I think Malone’s decline was very evident there with the way he used MPJ.
It was weird..
He suddenly became like the 4th or 5th option lol.
Don’t say this in the Nuggets sub though, Lurk will ban you
Feels bad for Holmes, he looked good in the garbage minutes and always seemed to hit a three.
Holmes honestly looks really slow footed when I see him play.
Adelman is okay, but he learned too much from Malone.
Malone is a shitcoach and the coaches who are part of his shit coaching tree are also shit. Adelman seems better at playing rookies though.
Better at playing rookies, but still part of that shit coaching tree imo.
Should maybe delete this or else they’ll ban you from the Nuggets sub. Also are you the real Chris Dempsey? lmao
generous
Arkansas second round picks looking nice
Woo pig
Never yield
Is he the highest non-1st round pick summer game scored ever? Love the .5sec quick 3 and the rush to put back. Denver’s got the next 2nd round goat
Arthur Kaluma had 35 pts a few days ago. He went undrafted in 2025 so this isn’t his first NBA season or Summer League
If you guys can help him figure out his mental game, and get him to lock in like this consistently, then he will be such a steal.
Obviously he has almost the perfect NBA body, and is capable of doing all the stuff that wins games. Just needs consistent focus, aggression, and BBIQ.
Awful defense from Mara damn
MPJ at home
Darmok and Jalad at Tanagra
Hell of a reference.
The second round for this class is pretty deep aswell
Should probably mention the half court buzzer beater in the title
I love this guy. So much fun in his game.
i just hope nuggets didnt takr brazile yikes
What?
Willl start over gordon when he eventually gets injured again. gordon is less healthy than embiid at this point.
Bro what lol
