Brady is an explosive point guard with strong handles and a natural-born playmaker with a high motor. Brady is a triple threat scoring option with good range and is downright shifty off the bounce and a crafty finisher. Brady has a wicked Ero-step gets him to the rim for strong finishes. Brady is a dazzling passer who loves setting up his teammates. As a facilitator, Brady plays with great pace and is intentional with the ball in his hands, which allows him to be able to get to his spots where he can be dangerous on the offensive end. Brady is a great on-ball defender, forcing tough shots and a lot of turnovers. Last season, as a freshman, Brady averaged 4 steals a game and took 14 charges. Brady was also effective at mixing it up on the boards. Brady's areas of focus would be improving his all around game but really focusing on improving his 3pt percentage and continuing to get stronger.
Brady averaged 21 points, 5 assists, and 6 rebounds this past AAU session. Brady's biggest improvement from last season till now has been his 3 point shot and improving physically to help him maintain his abilities throughout the season. Brady's biggest basketball accomplishments include being named to the All-Conference team and leading my team in assists and steals last season.
Brady's goals for the upcoming season are to continue improving his all-around game and get back to the state tournament to make a deep run in the playoffs. The biggest challenge will be staying consistent and keeping everybody focused on our ultimate goal. The biggest game Brady is looking forward to the most is the first game of the season to be able to play in the brand-new gym and be able to set the tone for the season. Brady believes their team can make a deep tournament run and understands it will take a team effort, having everybody on the same page, consistent effort in practice, and being able to rise to the moment in the big games.
What fires Brady up the most on the court is the energy from the crowd and making big plays in the biggest games. To make an intense crowd more electric fuels Brady to take his game to another level to keep the hype rolling.
When facing adversity, Brady stays calm and focused, relying on the work he’s put in and trusting that he and his teammates will be on the same page.
The best piece of advice ever given to Brady was to work hard and trust the work when the time comes.
Outside of basketball, Brady enjoys playing video games and hanging out with his friends.
Brady believes in order to achieve his next level goals, it will take continuous hard work, dedication, and improvement in all aspects of his game. Brady feels like he can play at any level, given the opportunity. Brady has received interest from several colleges and hopes to gain some offers soon.
I assess that Brady will be another high level guard that will excel and thrive on the next level. Brady's skill set, energy, and tenacity will have a big impact on some lucky teams. A nasty playmaker who checks every box and doesn't mind physical play. That is huge for the next level transition. Brady is already loaded with high-level potential at the pace he is on; he will decide where he lands. The work and development are there. Brady is hungry for another state tournament run, which will only cause his stock to continue to rise. Keep a close eye on this young star and his evolving skill set that is already very good. Get your popcorn ready; it's going to be quite a show.
