We're seeing a lot of top 10 freshman doing incredibly well this year.
But that's rare.
Mullins was a top 20 freshman.
I'd argue that for the vast majority of freshman in that 5-25 range, it takes a year or them to become forces in college.
We have seen this over and over and over at UConn.
Ray Allen, Caron Butler, Rip Hamilton, Rudy Gay, Kemba Walker, Jeremy Lamb... Jordan Hawkins.
Braylon could vastly improve with another year, especially since he missed the first 10 games of the season when the coaches had largely installed the sets for the offense.
All of the players above became forces in their second year.
I know many of them like Ray Allen played well in their first year but they made 4 shots a game and played for about 20 minutes.

Isn't their star big questionable too?
UConn’s Dan Hurley shares Silas Demary Jr. injury update after win
UConn head coach Dan Hurley gave a concerning update regarding starting point guard Silas Demary Jr. and his injury situation.

What do you guys think it is? Are they defending him more closely now forcing him to rush his shots? Has that got in his head? Looks like he’s rushing his shots. Quick release like Stef Curry.

If Tarris has an advantage, you have to ride that advantage. But you can’t rely on your C going for 31 points and 27 rebounds to win games. If Tarris isn’t playing like Wilt or is in foul trouble, you still need to score
The offense is generating fantastic looks. It’s up to the players to make the shots. Simple as that. If Solo and Braylon don’t start making the great looks they’re getting, we won’t win the title. Funny enough the 1 three that Solo made was actually a really difficult and contested shot

I don’t know what Mullins pregame and off day regimen looks like but I know Cam Spencer would be shooting his way out of this slump in an empty gym with the lights off.

It’s possible, sure. So is 0-8. In a tournament you can’t afford to Hope for someone to break out of a slump.

I guess the non-big-east refs are conspiring against us also?

Or have him draw the double team and find the open shooter. See if we can get some early threes to spark the confidence. We're due. I think it will be important to establish the outside jumper early.

Two things:
1. He's rushing his shot way more often than early in the year.
2. He's missing plenty of open shots with his feet set and enough time because he's got an issue in his stroke that always leads to inconsistent shooters: he doesn't consistently finish with a straight arm.
Players form/shot can look all sorts of different, but if your follow-through doesn't look similar to the below pics, you're going to be inconsistent. If your arm is bent, there's enough small variation in your finishing position/follow through that it all but guarantees inconsistency.
He's better from inside the arc because he doesn't have this issue as much there.

He has a very unique release for sure - not sure if seen anything like it. Feels almost made up, so I’d imagine it’s a lot of touch/feel on his end.
