Looks to me like BM is keeping his guy in front of him for longer durations-moving his feet and less handsy. Funneling them to the paint for help D. As he gets back to being 100% healthy (not quite there yet)- He'll continue to improve. His rotations on D have also improved as he receives more PT. Becoming a disruptive defender.

10. Braylon Mullins, SG, UConn
Previous Rank: Unranked
Biggest performance so far: 24 points, 3 assists, 6 3-pointers vs. Providence on Jan. 7
Mullins' numbers at this point in the season aren't on the same level as the other players on these rankings: The Indiana native is averaging 11.6 points and 3.8 rebounds entering the week. But he's on an upward trajectory as we enter the final stretch of the regular season. He was even the player Dan Hurley drew up plays for in overtime against Providence earlier this month. Mullins missed the first month of the season with an ankle injury but scored 17 points on the road at Kansas in the second game of his career and immediately forced his way into the starting lineup for the No. 2 Huskies. He was arguably the best shooter in the 2025 class coming out of high school, and he has already made at least five 3s twice in Big East play. -- Borzello

Braylon has instincts you can't coach. His rebounding has showed that as well as the block to seal the game late. He has quick hands and has been called early this season for using them usually on reach ins. Hopefully he will pick his spots better and not get in foul trouble as we move forward. He can't let the BE refs put him on the bench.
