Summary
Trevon Brazile is blowing up in Summer League like a lottery pick, dropping 32 points with 6 of 12 threes and dominating the floor — forcing DaRon Holmes and Zeke Nnaji to fight for scraps behind Nikola Jokic. With Marvin Bagley III already in the mix, Brazile’s shooting and athleticism are making backup center minutes a nightmare to secure. Holmes, sidelined all rookie season with a torn Achilles and barely playing 8 minutes last year, and Nnaji, a six-year vet averaging under 4 points and 2 rebounds, are suddenly in a tough spot. The Nuggets haven’t given rookies meaningful minutes since Christian Braun — but Brazile might be the one to break that trend. His emergence is reshaping the roster’s depth chart, and the pressure is on Holmes and Nnaji to prove they belong.
