"Already better than Bronny": Hoops fans react to 5-star CG Brayden Burries' 27-point show

No. 12 recruit in the Class of 2025 Brayden Burries produced another impressive performance for the Roosevelt Mustangs. The 19-year-old dropped a double-double, scoring 27 points and grabbing 11 rebounds in the 68-51 win against Sunnyslope Vikings on Nov. 23.

Some highlights of the game were posted by 'Ballislife' on their Instagram page as Burries dominated the Vikings' defense. He scored through contact and made plenty of and-one opportunities for himself.

He also grabbed offensive rebounds for second-chance points and looked comfortable shooting the ball from beyond the arc.
