A highly-touted 6'6" guard with an elite shooting skill set and a terrific feel for the game, capable of hitting deep shots off-the-dribble or off screens. He plays with confidence and toughness, utilizing good off-ball movement and quickness to attack closeouts. He needs to add strength to his narrow frame and improve his shot mechanics' low release point against NBA length.

RANK
Does a bunch of everything, but doesn’t do anything abnormal other than shoot. Surprised if he’s not an nba player,. But I don’t think this is a Kon situation where he takes off right away
RANK
Corey Kispert-esque, Kon Kneuppel-esque.
Lights out shooter - perfect form and can hit from anywhere, whether it's a pull-up mid range or from way out deep. Isn't scared of a closing defender or nearby help. Obviously against college defences but this confidence is good.
Isn't as likely to get to the rim as he is to shoot - frame and weight probably deters him from scoring at the cup as much, but he can still do it. Likes to get two feet in the paint if possible.
Defence is okay - decent eye for steals and gambles well, but isn't going to defend at a crazy level. Same as his playmaking - a lot of assists are more about the skill of who he's passing to, but he can still hit a target and is a good connecting passer or secondary ball handler.
RANK
I do think his shot will translate very fast and once it does, he'll be an intelligent playmaker and shot threat for any team (Pistons, anyone?)
RANK
one of the best shooters in the class
possesses gravity being able to shoot off movement

RANK
Braylon Mullins is the latest of the Hurley UConn shooting guards to figure his way into a lottery or first round pick. Like McNeeley, Spencer, and Hawkins before him, Mullins is a polished off ball guard with good feel for the game and efficient perimeter shooting. At 6'6 he profiles as an ideal NBA 2 or 3 wing player that can space the floor and play off ball around your other stars. His efficiency, IQ and consistency will intrigue a lot of NBA teams. Mullins feels like an ideal pick for a playoff team who finds themselves in the lottery this year due to previously traded picks. The biggest ceiling riser for Mullins and the thing that might land him in the top 10 is that he has paired that offensive skillset with and equally impressive defensive impact as well. He uses his great length, lateral quickness and motor to guard all the perimeter spots and be very active in passing lanes as a help defender. Adding that defensive value to his offensive game makes Mullin an prototypical 3&D wing at a minimum; a role that the entire NBA is desperately seeking each and every year. I personally don't see enough upside potential to think he warrants a high lottery pick but I certainly think he is a first round lock and to the right fit, I can see the logic of making him a lottery pick.
