The Nuggets have been using Trevon Brazile as an injury stand-in. He deserves his own spot in the rotation.

David Decker of Nugg Love argues that rookie forward Trevon Brazile deserves a permanent role in the Denver Nuggets' rotation. Brazile made his regular-season NBA debut in Denver's 96-84 loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder, filling in for injured forward Spencer Jones as the backup to Aaron Gordon. Brazile recorded a team-high 12 rebounds across the contest, including seven in the first quarter.
Decker emphasizes that Brazile provides valuable frontcourt athleticism, rim protection, and perimeter floor spacing alongside Nikola Jokic. With Cameron Johnson and Julian Strawther sidelined by injuries, Decker contends Brazile has shown enough upside to remain an indispensable bench piece even after injured players return.
