I am sorry, but who in TF can he guard in the NBA? Could he guard Poole from GSW? No.
Maybe, I mean maybe, he could guard Pritchard or Grant Williams from the Celtics. If he improves his defense.
His shot mechanics are horrible. He pulls the ball from his waist into his shooting motion as slow as anyone I can remember, and shoots a very flat shot.
Unless he is literally standing wide, wide open, that shit is going to get blocked in the NBA.
He cannot shoot coming off a screen the way Och can, and he doesn't have a tight handle that can make it through traffic.
He jumps high. That's it.
I loved Braun, and have since he was a freshman. I literally defensed him when people complained about his minutes or role in the starting lineup.
He should have come back, in regards to his development, but it looks like he got good advice and was actually taken in the first round. Good for him.
KU has lost many guys to an early draft grade, but guys like T-Rob, Julian Wright, etc. didn't make a ton of NBA money after their first contract. Why? Because they really needed more time to develop.

So in love with this basic post you had to make it twice? While not verbatim to the last one, it is essentially the same post.
Perhaps if you post it a 3rd time we will all really finally get your point.
