Bruce Brown says he’s happy to not be playing ‘big man role’ anymore

Bruce Brown recently revealed that he was super excited about signing with the Denver Nuggets last summer because of the opportunity to play guard.

(via Denver Nuggets):

Reporter: “Going back to free agency, how are you evaluating things in that situation? Are you taking into account relationships with Calvin [Booth] and Coach Malone, or is it strictly role and opportunity?”

Brown: “I really haven’t thought about free agency at all. Oh, last year? Yeah, it was just fit and then they basically said what I wanted to hear because I wanted to get out of that 4 man, big man role, floater game, and show what I can do. And the first thing they said, ‘You can come here and be a guard because Jamal [Murray] was coming off injury and Mike [Porter Jr.] was coming off injury.’ That’s exactly what I wanted to hear. So that was a perfect fit.”
