RE: WAC PLAYER OF THE WEEK RIGHT HERE
In my opinion, Braun is a tough hard-nose player, strong, an excellent shooter and plays with a high basketball IQ. But I think Braun's physical limitations have leveled off his development. Braun's knees have limited his lateral quickness and ability to jump quickly. Because of this, opposing players and coaches have learn how to defend against him. Braun's physical capabilities pretty much maxed out after his sophomore season. Now, players of similar age have caught up with his physical and mental development. He went from being exceptional as a freshman to being only good as a senior. Braun is still a tough matchup... constantly moving, coming off screens, and extending his range beyond the pro arc. But one-on-one, he is not quick enough with his dribble to breakdown a defenders to create spacing for his shot. A skill Benson, Carr, and Frayer seem to be more proficient at doing now.
