The 2016-17 NEC Rookie of the Year has taken his game next level as a sophomore, with last week’s performance being a prime example. Braxton averaged 18.0 points, 13.5 rebounds and 6.5 assists, while shooting 56.5 percent from the field and 83.3 percent from the charity stripe in two SFU wins. After finishing with 16 points, 11 rebounds and five assists in the Red Flash’s 113-77 win over Bethany on Monday, the Glassboro, NJ turned in a signature performance in SFU’s non-conference finale against Lehigh on Friday. Braxton tallied 20 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists for his third straight double-double and league-leading sixth of the year as the Flash pulled away for an 84-70 victory. In doing so, he became just the sixth player nationally since 2010 to post at least 20/16/8 in a game. Braxton ranks among NEC leaders in scoring (17.1, 5th), rebounding (9.1, second), assists (3.1, 15th), field goal percentage (.504, 10th) and free throw percentage (.804, 8th).
