Scouting report/Player description:

Brandon is a very smart point guard. He really understands the game and he's like head of coach on the floor. He knows how to get the ball to the right people and in positions where they can score the ball. He's a crafty ball handler and trying to stop him from getting in the lane is like trying to stop water from going downhill. He has a great floater once he gets into the lane and really knows how to use his body to put defender on his hip. He does a good job of creating space from the defender to creat his own shot. Good shooter who will consistenly knock down the open shot, although he seems more comfortable shooting of the dribble. Really though to guard once he gets into a rhythm. He really excels in the pick and roll because of his decision making and his ability to shoot and pass the ball. He's a fearless competitor who welcomes the big moments. He will take the challenge on both ends of the floor and will guard the opposing team's best guard. Defensively, he has quick hands and his awareness of the game allows him to get a lot of steals and deflections on the defensive end of the court. Does not have any glaring weaknesses, but he needs to develop a quicker relase on his jump shot.
