This combo guard from Greenville has capitalized on a recent growth spurt (over 5 inches in two years) to become one of the more dynamic young players in the class. During his eighth-grade season at Oakwood School, Braven led the team in every stat category from points to field-goal percentage. From a skillset perspective, he is a downhill attacker with good shot creation skills. There are no wasted dribbles, as he gets to his spots as quickly as possible.

Versatility on both sides of the ball is exemplified in every game. From a shooting perspective, he’s more comfortable off the catch than the dribble. As he develops his off the dribble shooting, the offensive skillset will be even more polished. Blount’s versatility and production have made him a name to watch as he progresses in his young career.
