Brandon Huntley-Hatfield

Draft Notes

Brandon Huntley-Hatfield is a big forward with an advanced skill set and a bright NBA future. After an inconsistent freshman season at Tennessee he transferred to Louisville.

Brandon can really handle the rock well for a big man and has a knack for scoring the ball – showing a nice perimeter skills and feel for the game. His outside shot shows promise and is starting to be a weapon for him, making him very tough to defend.

Brandon has a quick fist step and can blow by the defender and get to the rim. He scores in a variety of ways, can hit the outside shot and can over-power defenders in the lane.

Plays above the rim and has overall nice athleticism. Has a really strong frame with a thick build.
