And Braun knows there’s no escaping Edwards, the 23-year-old supernova whose rise has accelerated Minnesota’s. “He’s competitive. I’m competitive. We’ve seen each other a lot,” said Braun, who is also 23 and has been trusted this season as Denver’s leading defensive guard — the answer to Edwards, perhaps for the foreseeable future. “We’ve had a lot of possessions against each other. I’ve got my stops. He’s got his buckets. So I understand he’s a guy I want to guard a lot. I really enjoy his game. I love to see him. I enjoy playing against him. He’s one of the most fun players to play against in the league just because he’s so competitive. It’s a good, competitive balance with him.”
