Gonzaga Bulldogs in 2023 NBA Draft: Julian Strawther goes to Denver, is he next Christian Braun?

Gonzaga Bulldogs wing Julian Strawther was selected 29th overall by the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA draft, marking the third year in a row one of Mark Few's players has gone in the first round. Strawther will join the defending champs and could have a Christian Braun like impact on this team in year one, especially with familiarity playing alongside a dominant center (Drew Timme) which will compare favorably to Nikola Jokic.Speaking of Timme, he goes undrafted but signs an exhibit 10 contract with the Milwaukee Bucks, where he'll get to play under the tutelage of Brook Lopez, an ideal mentor for Timme given his current strengths and weaknesses.Finally, Malachi Smith signs an exhibit 10 deal with Portland, where he'll likely join their brand new G-League team and play at the Chiles Center next season.Link to national college basketball national podcast: https://linktr.ee/LockedOncbbhttps://linktr.ee/LockedOnZagsLocked on Zags - Part of the Locked on Podcast Network.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!Built BarBuilt Bar is a protein bar that tastes like a candy bar.
