The criticism Braney has received is completely unfair. People are treating him as if he's a top ten pick. He's not a top ten pick, he's the 55th pick. The expectations for someone drafted at 55 should be that they spend most of their time developing in the G League, maybe playing a few games in the NBA. Last year's 55th pick played a total of 4 minutes in the NBA.
JJ Redick has come out and said that Braney is a developing player, and we all know that. So let's not just sit there and criticize his summer league numbers. Braney needs to get accustomed to the speed of the game in the summer league, he needs to get accustomed to his new coach and teammates, he needs to get accustomed to the attention he's receiving.
He knows he hasn't gotten there yet. And that's okay, that's what he looks like right now. He's had to deal with a lot of media attention, he didn't do any interviews after Monday night's game, and that's okay, he doesn't need to. So I think for him, it's about getting comfortable with it all, and once he does, the numbers will come.
