Will definitely need to continue to add strength, but has the frame to do that. Finishes well on dump off passes with his touch around the hoop. Capable of knocking down a baseline jumper. Size and tools to work with here. Quality area rebounder. Braman led his team to the state final four in 1A before the season was shut down. We spoke with the big man to chat about his season.
“As a team we went 36-1. We made it to state finals, but unfortunately we couldn’t play. During the season we won El Paso Shootout, Williamsville Christmas Tournament, Tri-County Conference Tournament, Tri-County regular season champions, and as a team we allowed the fewest points per game in the state.”
This past season Braman averaged 14.1 points per game and 9.3 rebounds. He shot 62.2% from the field. He had game highs of 25 points and 16 rebounds. Some of the honors he got for his play included Williamsville All-Tournament, Tri-County All-Tournament, Tri-County unanimous all-conference 1st team, 2nd team 1A AP All-State, and 3rd team PrepHoops Illinois junior. He spoke about the areas he saw the most improvement this year.
“Finishing strong and free throw percentage.”
Braman dived into the schools he has been in communication with for the next level.
“Olivet Nazarene, Winona State, Ferris State, Saginaw Valley State, Southern Illinois, and Northern Illinois spoke with coach Todd. Lots of interest. Those are the schools that I’ve had conversations with.”
What is he looking forward to when he gets on the floor with Hoops Intensity Training on the Prep Hoops Circuit?
“Getting exposure and playing with my HIT teammates. Practicing and playing with Brian Mathews Brian Mathews 6'8" | C Depaul Prep | 2021 State IL . Also being able to learn from Coach Todd (Koering).”
