If he was in 'ground idle', speed was probably fast without a lot of
brake. Does the C90 have 'beta'? I used 'beta' in some of the birds I
flew to take some of the prop pitch off taxing so wouldn't wear the
brakes out.

Yeah, we used beta thrust constantly while taxiing.

I thought the brakes on the King Air were pretty marginal, actually.

What they teach in the TC course is to avoid riding the brakes (and beta
range) as most people run to much power then ride the brakes to maintain a
proper taxi speed.
