Braylon Mullins Is Staying Put at UConn and the NBA Draft Just Lost a Sharp-Shooter
UConn's wing Braylon Mullins announced Saturday on social media that he's passing on the NBA draft and coming back for his sophomore season with the Huskies. The sharp-shooter made his decision public over the weekend, choosing to develop his game another year rather than test the professional waters right now.
This is the kind of move that can go either way. Mullins gets another year to prove he's NBA-ready, add strength, and rack up tape. But it also means he's betting on himself to be a first-rounder next year, because if his stock drops, passing this year could haunt him. For now though, UConn gets to keep a talented wing in the fold for 2026-27 and beyond.
