Prospect Profile 

A transfer from Missouri, Brazile made a huge impact on loaded Arkansas team that is filled with future NBA players before tearing his ACL as a sophomore. A great shot blocker, he should be a prospect that always enhances the defense of the team he is playing for. He's also a good rebounder and has the frame to fit the modern NBA perfectly. 

Even with the season-ending injury, he would have had a chance to still be taken in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft. However, he made the smart move of returning to school with a chance to be an early first rounder in 2024.

In the nine games Brazile did play as a sophomore, the 3-point shot looked much improved. Not only did he more than double his volume from his freshman season, but he also converted at a 38% clip. Combine that with the elite athleticism as a vertical spacer that can catch and finish lobs with authority, and it’s easy to see why teams will still keep a close eye on the Arkansas forward despite the injury. With his ability to pop or roll as a screener, he fits what NBA teams are looking for with guard synergy in offensive sets.

As a defensive prospect, he also has a ton of upside. At 6-foot-9 with a long frame, Brazile projects to be a disruptive defender at the next level. He generated 11 blocks and nine steals before going down with the injury and was arguably Arkansas’ biggest contributor on that end of the floor.

Brazile is in a unique situation where he’s shown enough to be drafted, but has decided to come back and improve his draft stock with another college season. With the talent the Razorbacks graduated and sent on to the NBA, he should be in a much larger role this season which could also help his stock if he performs at a high level.
