## Resource

Christian Braun just got a five-year, $125 million contract extension — but is he worth it? Ranked 26th among shooting guards, he’s set to make $21.5M this year, the 10th most among his position. His numbers dropped last season — from 15.4 PPG and 39% 3PT to 12 PPG and 31% — partly due to an ankle injury, but he’s expected back healthy. His biggest strength? Transition play — he led the league in transition points two years ago, but that dipped last year. Defensively, he also regressed, averaging under one steal per game after previously leading with over one. Can he rebound? If Braun reclaims his defensive intensity and fast-break dominance, he might justify his massive deal — but the climb is steep.
