## Resource

Corey Tulaba and Albert break down BYU five-star freshman Bruce Branch III, the former No. 1 overall recruit in his class and a projected top-10 pick in the 2027 NBA Draft. They dig into his offensive game, including his shot-making questions and unproven scoring touch, along with his defensive tools and length that have them higher on his two-way upside after digging into the film. The guys also run through NBA comparisons, including Mikal Bridges, Xavier McDaniel, Harrison Barnes, and Cam Reddish, to map out the range of outcomes for Branch's game at the next level. A must-listen for anyone tracking college hoops and early 2027 NBA Draft buzz.
