The Enigma - Brandon has the physical tools to hang with any player (yes lightning quick ones give him trouble). But for the most part he is never overmatched physically. He will turn a basic shot into a degree of difficulty challenge. He anticipates and overreacts to defenses that are not always there but where they should be. This is a strength but hinders him from just attacking with his physical gifts. Long way of saying he thinks too much out there. Needs to go for it.
I think the ridiculous number of charges called against him his first two years, many of which were total BS and would never be called with the semi-circle now, really affected his attacking the basket as you indicate. He needs to do much more of that. But that's harder to do with defenses packing it in since we can't hit the side of a barn from outside the arc.
