Brady is a sharpshooting forward with the size to post up and the skill to stretch defenses far beyond the arc. He spaces the floor with purpose, knocking down shots at a high clip while quietly punishing defenders with an underrated post-game and high-level basketball IQ. He’s a matchup problem, too tall for guards, too skilled for bigs, and his ability to anticipate the defensive tendencies gives him an edge every trip down the floor. Whether he’s popping out for a three, sliding into the high post, or moving without the ball, Brady plays with poise and precision. His shot is his calling card, but his understanding of spacing and timing makes him even more dangerous.

This past season, Brady averaged 11 points, 4.3 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game while shooting a scorching 44% from three. That’s a huge jump from last year’s 33%, and it’s no accident. It came from relentless reps after every practice. That daily grind in the gym transformed his shot into a weapon, and it’s now the centerpiece of his offensive game. Still, he knows where the next step lies: building strength, improving athleticism, and developing a guard-like skill set. His focus is on becoming a better ball handler and passer, shifting into more versatile roles that will expand his impact on the floor and help prepare him for the next level.

Brady plays with the Indiana Jammers on the UA Rise circuit, where he’s embracing every opportunity to compete against top-tier talent and showcase his growth. He’s looking forward to a strong finish this AAU season and an even stronger year ahead in high school, especially with a core group returning and a tougher schedule lined up. He’s already drawing next-level interest, with an offer from DePauw, a visit to NAIA program Taylor, and consistent texts from college coaches. The vision is to earn a D1 offer and stand out at every stop along the way.

What fires him up most is the crowd. When the lights are brighter, and the gym is packed, Brady rises to the moment. He’s built to perform when it counts. And when facing adversity, his answer is always the same: get back in the gym, reset, refocus, and work. The best advice that’s stuck with him is simple but powerful: you need to stand out. That fuels his confidence, and it's showing in every shot he takes and every improvement he makes.

Brady brings elite shooting, size, and a deep understanding of how to move within an offense. His ability to stretch the floor, play with intelligence, and quietly dominate from the outside makes him a perfect piece in today’s modern game.

As he continues building strength and developing more off-the-dribble skills, expect Brady to evolve into a true inside-out threat. He has the size, work ethic, and feel to become a reliable weapon at the next level, and he's already proving he's ready for the spotlight. Brady is sending a message and making a statement in AAU already. Driven by the desire to make this last run a breakout season and hungry to push for the D1 level, Brady knows his A-game has to be on display every time he hits the floor. Stay tuned.
