After an exceptional Final Four, perhaps the greatest in history, the NCAA season has delivered its verdict with the victory of Kansas. A player also caught the attention of all the spectators with his attitude and his game in this final, but who is he? Focus on Christian Braun, future NBA talent.
After legendary semi-finals, with a North Carolina-Duke becoming the second most-watched game in NCAA history, the March Madness final was meant to provide entertainment for fans and viewers around the world. whole. Mission accomplished with a suspenseful end to the match (72-69 final score for Kansas), but also great performances.
Puff Johnson, the little brother of Cameron, an important pawn in the rotation of the Suns in the NBA, for example kept his team afloat in the second half, to the point of vomiting his guts on the floor a few minutes from the final buzzer. But the face that really marked this Final Four belongs to a winner. Indeed, the day after the success of the Jayhawks, the head of Christian Braun is plastered everywhere on the social networks, in particular for a sequence which translates well all his aggressiveness.

But who is hiding behind this passionate player who caught everyone’s attention on this Final Four? Already, you should know that Christian Braun is not the nugget that destroys everything on his way to the NBA. The native of Burlington, a small town of 2,500 inhabitants lost in the middle of Kansas, is “already” turning 21, and he has just played his third season in the NCAA, the best of his career with 14.2 points, 6.4 rebounds and 2.8 average assists. More than interesting figures for a rear rated 3 stars upon leaving high school.
But even if he took time to reveal himself, Braun has a real chance of discovering the professional world in the coming months. He made an impression with 12 points and 12 rebounds in the national final, a conquering attitude that transcended his team, but above all a stifling defense on Caleb Love, the nugget of North Carolina. Moreover, for many specialists, the victory and this national title belong to him greatly, which could propel him to the first round of the next draft.
Christian Braun’s defense on Caleb Love was the difference in Kansas winning the national championship. Some huge possessions showing length on pullups and using verticality at the rim to force difficult shots. Also brought toughness with 12 rebounds.

Christian Braun’s defense of Caleb Love was the difference in Kansas’ victory. On big possessions he used his size to challenge, and he used his trigger under the circle to force hard shots. Potential first-round pick.
When he left high school, Christian Braun probably did not expect such a career. He went from being a “3-star” player to a college champion, and probable NBA player. And with his state of mind and his defense, he should succeed in finding a place there.
