One of the best parts of being a fan of college basketball is seeing young players grow up over the course of a season.
Whether you’re a McDonald’s All-American or a two-star recruit, life is difficult as a freshman in college basketball. Many players don’t become fully comfortable on the floor until the end of the non-conference season, others take even longer; but regardless of when that happens, there is typically a specific moment or play where it was evident that the player had finally found that said confidence.
For Christian Braun, the 6-6 guard from Blue Valley Northwest High School, that moment came in a road game against the 18th ranked team in the country.
