According to Jay King of The Athletic, Brady Stevens has committed to join Notre Dame’s basketball program. The 6-foot-3 guard is the son of Brad Stevens, the Boston Celtics’ President of Basketball Operations.
Stevens is entering his senior year at Wellesley High School in Massachusetts. In a 2022 report for New England Recruiting Report, Jared Exler wrote the following about Stevens:
“Stevens is a reliable long-range shooter who can hit three-pointers in a variety of ways. Has clean mechanics and needs very little time or space to get attempts off. Makes treys at a good volume when coming off screens or spotting up. Shows glimpses of being a pull-up threat from beyond the arc. Stevens can put the ball on the floor when defenders aggressively contest his long-range attempts. Has the ability to hit soft floaters in the lane over bigger opponents. Shows some playmaking chops when attacking closeouts, finding teammates for open treys on kickouts. Defensively, he has a good understanding of where to be on his rotations. Is rarely out of position as a help defender or when one pass away.”
Stevens is set to play under Notre Dame head coach Micah Strewsberry. Strewsberry was an assistant coach for the Celtics from 2013 to 2019.
Last season, the Fighting Irish finished with the 14th seed in the ACC. Their most recent NCAA tournament appearance came in 2022.
