What areas of the game can he improve?

(1) He is already a consistent scorer already, can get red hot from time to time, even under double team.

(2) He is a excellent rebounder already

(3) His defense is solid

(4) He can even shoot the three

(5) he can dish out to an oen shooter

To me he has a complete package. Where are the areas he can improve by staying one more year?

The only arguement I can see from some posters are that he can put some bulks in his frame, but (1) Cannot he improve that as a pro? (2) There are so many good player in the NBA that have similar build as Brakins. Look at Chris Bosh?

If he leaves it wont be until his senior year. I really think he could be fantastic if he stuck around long enough to polish up some things hes weak on.

He could definitely improve his rebounding and his ability to take it strong to the basket.

Not going to the NBA he can earn a degree. Thats what he can improve on.

Brackins would tell you himself that he as a lot of stuff to work on...Nobody is ever good enough...If you stop getting better; you're getting worse.

Brackins will give us another year from what I hear...

Left hand
His handle
Strength
Mid range jumper

Problem is that he can learn all those things in the NBA. He has the game to be a top 20 pick right now

He needs to improve to the point where he can score 100 points a game, grab 30 rebounds and coach. I think we might make the NCAA tourney then.

Facing the basket and making a move towards the basket to finish. He throws up some god awful shots when doing this (forces action) sometimes.

He can definitely improve defensively. How many blocked shots does he have? I can't think of one (although I'm sure he has a few). Seems like he should be getting a couple per game.

His body can get stronger and his FT shooting can improve as well.

He can also improve his hairstyle...LOL

Consistency, tenacity and strength...when CB can pound down low he'll be ready, the outside shot is great should be an afterthought. When he can stay with Blake Griffen down low shot for shot then he's ready.

If he lights up OU for about 30 then I'd say leave young man. I think he'll struggle against them, frankly, and he'll see first hand what his weakness is.

If this was true then their would be very few people getting drafted this year because their are very few that can go toe to toe with Mr. Griffen.

I think that everyone is nitpicking at things and we all know the talent the kid has and that if he wanted to go he could and probably be successful at it. I'm just hoping KG is right and he wants to learn more from the staff to be the consistent monster that he showed he can be on Sat.
