This Jackson-Reed team has shown nice promise this fall under new head coach Tre Mouton and Brutley has been a nice surprise as a productive floor general who can steer the ship. While on the smaller side, Brutley obtains the tools that point guards his size need for sustained success including end-to-end speed, burst from the point of attack to create advantages in the half court, range on his jumper to demand gravity and ability to process the defense on penetration to make quick reads to open teammates. The quickness doesn’t only impact the offensive side of the ball. Brutley can pressure defensively well without fouling, but has active hands that cause consistent deflections or simple turns from his man bringing the ball up the floor, which ultimately delays the sets in their half court offense.

He’s a guy who certainly caught my eye this fall and if he can maintain his production with efficiency, could easily see himself jump into the top 100 in future updates.

Brutley is a prospect who has helped himself a great deal this fall in my book. He’ll certainly appear in the next update of the class rankings and is primed for a productive junior campaign under new Jackson-Reed head coach Tre Mouton. He’s a lead guard who can put others in position of strength with his knack for paint touches and breaking down the defense. He has a quick first step and is twitchy enough to shake defenders if they’re able to anticipate his first move. He’s been a handful in high ball screens with his ability to split the defense and quickly process the defense as either a scorer or distributor. Defensively, he’s the definition of a pest who will take it upon himself to pressure the ball the full length of the floor, where he’s secured over a dozen steals/deflections over the course of their fall showings.
