Message: [QUOTE="HooperScooper, post: 5338907, member: 10"] [HEADING=1][SIZE=5][I]No. 12 Braylon Mullins, UConn[/I][/SIZE][/HEADING] [I][B]Expected role[/B]: Starting guard [B]Burning college question[/B]: How does he hammer long closeouts? Mullins is one of the premier shot-makers in the Class of 2025 who chose an offense that has a four-year sample size of generating a million unguarded catch-and-shoot 3-pointers. [B]UConn open catch-and-shoot 3-pointer frequency, per Synergy:[/B] [/I] [LIST] [*][I][I][B]2024-25[/B]: 84th percentile[/I][/I] [*][I][I][B]2023-24[/B]: 98th percentile[/I][/I] [*][I][I][B]2022-23[/B]: 92nd percentile[/I][/I] [*][I][I][B]2021-22[/B]: 94th percentile[/I][/I] [/LIST] [I]This marriage is going to work, but it could be elevated by how Mullins can attack long closeouts. Opposing defenders will know the scouting report. Can Mullins make them pay consistently when they aggressively try to take away 3-pointers? Mullins can hit floaters and runners. He can finish above the rim. He's shown he can make reads as a playmaker. He's going to make open shots, but Mullins can be one of the best freshmen in the country if he's just as dangerous at punishing over-aggressive defenders.[/I] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/burning-scheme-questions-for-darryn-peterson-aj-dybantsa-and-every-five-star-freshman-in-college-basketball/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
