Bradyn is a long off-guard with a smooth shooting stroke from beyond the arc. He moves downhill with control and shows flashes of shiftiness with the ball in his hands. Defensively, his length and mobility give him the tools to become a switchable asset on the perimeter. With his recent transfer to Woodward Academy, Elder is expected to step into a larger spotlight and continue his development on both ends of the floor.
