Draft Notes
Brandin is one of the better outside shooters in this class and has been a scoring machine since his days at the high school level. After not seeing opportunity at Illinois he transferred to Santa Clara and had a monster sophomore season.
He’s got good size for a combo guard but is more of a below the rim athlete who relies on his skill level, BBIQ and elite shooting touch to get buckets.
The 6-5 lefty projects as a 3pt marksman at the next level and will also be able to play with the ball in his hands and make plays for his teammates.
He’s got an all around game and plays both ends. Shows great awareness on the defensive end. Is a glue-guy type of player who makes those around him better and just knows how to play.
He’s one of the better rebounding guards you’ll see.
