Career Highlight:

Here are a few of his highlights from high school:

Dream Season:

Brantley steps in as the perfect complement to Melo Trimble off the bench. He scores 5 or so points per outing, but thrives in the passing game, commanding Maryland's talented big men and wings. Brantley also allows Trimble to spend some time at the two-guard where he can catch-and-shoot threes when he's hot.

Up Next:

Next up is the team's unquestioned best dancer.

*Question 2: Ok so maybe the best dancer is up for debate, instead next up is the big man who Mark Turgeon thinks has a chance at Defensive Player of the Year.
