Expert Analysis
Ari Rosenfeld | Prep Hoops Scout
Branson has made an immediate splash for La Salle, slotting in right away to the starting point guard spot after transferring over the bridge from Medford Tech (NJ). Monday’s win wasn’t his best performance but still offered a glimpse at what he brings to the table as he tied for a team-high with 12 points and helped to put the game away late. The emerging lead guard showed a dependable handle throughout the game with a heavy dose of the ballhandling load on his plate, finding ways to get downhill into the paint and put the defense into rotation. He showed confidence out to the perimeter as a shooter with advanced dexterity as a finisher in the lane, all while playing active defense with quick hands and feet. He’ll need to work on his ball security and decisionmaking, but did make a handful of high-IQ plays with the game in the balance in the final minutes, along with coming up clutch with a perfect 6-for-6 at the line in the fourth quarter. Branson projects at the very least as an impact small-college recruit with a path to play his way into clear scholarship territory over the next year.
