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.
