Scott Hankamp | Prep Hoops Scout
Don’t look at the numbers here. Look at his defensive assignments. Branson guarded elite players with D1 futures and he did a more than admirable job. Branson’s D was a key factor in East Lansing winning the state title.

Speaking of defense. Branson was huge in his team’s state championship run. He played some solid perimeter defense against some of the most talented guards in the state over the 2 tournament games. Branson played D with quickness, speed and energy.

Branson turned a lot of heads with his play in the win against East Kentwood. He was picked as a All-Gottagetit Classic Honorable Mention. Let’s start with his defense. Branson made plays on that end. He hustled back on defense and flat out stopped a fast break score. Literally saved his team 2 points early in the game. Branson showed the ability to effectively defend the entire length of the floor. He was an impressive passer in the open floor and had a couple 2 handed dunk finishes.
