Braylon Mullins To Play Another Season At UConn

The 20-year-old guard produced a legendary March Madness moment last month when he drilled a long three-pointer in the final second to oust top-seeded Duke in the Elite Eight. He turned in a solid first season for the Huskies, averaging 12 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.4 assists in 33 games while shooting 42.1% from the field and 33.5% from three-point range.

Mullins hopes to become a guaranteed top-10 pick after another season in college, Goodman adds, noting that he was “highly compensated” through NIL money to continue playing at UConn.

Mullins, who earned a spot on the Big East All-Freshman team, ranked 17th on ESPN’s latest list of the top 100 draft prospects. He impressed scouts with his shooting ability and willingness to take clutch shots, but there’s also a desire to see what else he has in his offensive game. ESPN notes that he’ll have a strong chance to move up the board in 2027, with fewer stars projected to be in the draft class.
