Can Braylon Mullins rise to claim College Basketball Player of the Year? UConn Huskies’ electrifying star dominates the spotlight after last season’s unforgettable NCAA Tournament dagger against Duke…
But first, we are starting with Braylon Mullins, who we believe can be college basketball player of the year.
And as the face of college basketball, he is going to be marketed, I guarantee it, by every publication.
The TV entities, any packages that get pulled together, Braylon Mullins will absolutely be a part of it because he was the moment in last season's NCAA tournament.
But it's not just about the moment and stepping up when it mattered and being clutch in that spot.
Braylon Mullins has the potential to grow into the best player in college basketball.
We saw on social media that he actually had surgery right after the season as well.
And now he's got time to recover, be fully healthy, and ready to go for this year.
And what the expectation is is significant growth and development off of what we saw in year one, which was pretty good.
Especially from what he showed near down the stretch during the Big East tournament run.
But still, that postseason, he did only shoot 29% from three, whereas he shot for the entire regular season a lot higher percentage, 33%.
I expect him to be able to elevate that three-point shooting up closer to the high 30s, maybe even 40% from three.
