Less efficient in the second game (was 1-6 to start), but still the high scorer in a comeback win against Team Durant.

Brayon had a great weekend last week showcasing his ability to play tight defense, distribute the ball, and score at all three levels. He shot especially well from three which is really nice to see. Glad he is proving me wrong there. He plays with great pace, always looking to push the pace and get out in transition off a miss. Wonder if that will be a stylistic shift we will see from the team in a year or so after we tended to slow things down a bit once the ball reached half court. Apart from Jalen Warley (Florida State commit) I think Brayon has been the standout in the 17U group. Certainly impressive considering this is probably his first game action since Huntington Prep finished their season. Hope he keeps it up this weekend!

Stats + highlights from his 8/22 morning game against Team Richmond. Brayon is #2 in blue.

Box scores from Saturday (1 and 2) and Sunday (3). Brayon definitely focused more on being a passer this weekend. Had 10 assists in game 1, and 5 in each of the others. Didn't need to play a whole lot in the Saturday morning contest as New World blew out Prospect U in the first game. Turnovers were a bit high at times, but hard to put too much stock in that during this setting I'd assume. I don't know that his 17U New World team has ever lost in the tournament, but they forfeited the first week with some guys out sick.

Thank you for posting the video, game results and stats.  Great to see Brayon has a lot of winning experience.  I feel he's going to help GW elevate its game to a very high level!

From a couple of years ago...

Bray dropped 43 this past weekend in the PYBL. Looked great shooting from deep.

Seems like every time I see @GW_MBB signee Brayon Freeman he improves. Elite scoring guard who has made strides on the defensive end and continues to be a vocal presence. He's starting to use his gravity to create for others.

I just watched the first half of the game that is linked above.   Very interesting.   Freeman had 16 or 17 first half points.  The opposing team stayed in a zone most (if not all) of the first half, resulting in Freeman having many open looks.   Although he started out at the wing, he quickly moved to point.   Although not shy about shooting, he looks like he can pass a little also.   Showed some penetration and dish.  He is not a rebounder.   Hard to assess his defense from what I saw.   If you have a few minutes to kill, you should give it a watch.  I have to run out now to get the long suffering girlfriend a Valentines Day card (and maybe one of those $7.99 boxes of chocolates that they sell at Giant), but I will probably catch the second half later.  (I know you were all anxious to know my plans for today).
