Braun had a .137 WS/48 and 6.3 BPM last year. He is .284 WS/48 and 13.7 BPM this year (which leads the B12 and is 8th in the NCAA). 72% on 2s compared to 45% last year. His distance shooting has stayed mostly the same, but he seemingly somehow became a completely different player over the summer with an ability to cut/drive/finish at the rim as good as anybody in the NCAA.

This was a month ago prior to conference play. Not counting today’s bad game, in conference play itself, he’s had a .118 WS/48 and only 46% on 2s (right on his mark from last year, making the 72% looking like an aberration and/or a result of weaker competition). It has really been a colossal drop off. Luckily for KU, Jalen Wilson turned back into himself and McCormack is contributing again. They’re still going to need more from him than this though.
