After being a key contributor during the Kansas Jayhawks national championship team, Christian Braun declared for the 2022 NBA Draft.

While Christian Braun will have the opportunity to return to NCAA basketball if he does not sign with an agent, the belief is that he will be a first-round draft pick this year.

Christian Braun played excellent defense and showcased excellent shooting during the NCAA tournament, earning praise from Charles Barkley over his performance.

In an era where influential three-and-D players are precious, Christian Braun can fit on almost any roster. Braun can defend every position, except center, and continues to develop into an even better shooter as he gets older.

Christian Braun's strong finish to his NCAA career will make him a player many teams are willing to take a chance on in the Draft.
