Brandon Averette brings quick-hit creation and shot-making to BYU’s backcourt
Averette was a high-energy, cat-quick guard for BYU in 2020-21, earning All-WCC Second Team honors after starting 27 games and finishing with a 30-point outburst against Texas Southern and 15 points versus UCLA in the NCAA Tournament. He fits teams that need a confident pick-and-roll creator who can also punish defenses from deep, and reports from that season consistently described him as one of the most explosive and clever playmakers in college basketball. The bigger value: he adds pace, toughness, and instant offense when the game tightens.
