What an amazing, essential play from Braswell at key moment in the game! It got me out of my seat, in part because of my surprise. We all know Bobby B has some hops, but what’s funny to me is that he’s not really a “smooth” explosive athlete to my eye, haha sometimes he looks like he’s running on stilts moving up & down the floor... for him to sprint back & rise up like that was so clutch. Turned a layup & momentum from Georgetown into a 3 for Buddy on the other end! It’s been fun & refreshing to see Rob get important minutes & play well the last two games
 
Looked in control, moreso than in the past. That three he popped, he looked comfortable when he pulled the trigger - like he knew it was going in. Add 3 steals, 2 rebounds and a dime. Meanwhile, Joe had 8 assists - I guess even doughy people can ball ;)
Oh good, maybe there’s hope for me! Except for the 50+ years of mileage on these joints...
 
You saw it as a freshman (@ NC ST) that Braswell is a pretty good defensive forward in the zone. I think he can carve out a role specifically with that. He's active and reads the passing lanes well.
 
I didn’t realize Braswell was a 2x state high jump champion in high school until they mentioned it last night.

I had forgotten that until they said it. I think I remember reading it after he first committed.

Edit: And his PR was 6'10". The kid was able to jump over himself.

I agree. He is excellent in the zone. Great instincts. That steal last night under the hoop when he dropped from his spot... excellent.
