Arizona freshman guard Brayden Burries was cooking in the first half against No. 9 Kansas. As Burries walked into a 3-pointer late in the half, ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla said Burries reminded him of Phoenix Suns guard Devin Booker.
Burries is a 6-foot-4 freshman from California. With his Wildcats’ undefeated season on the line at Allen Fieldhouse, Burries led Arizona with 12 points in the first half.

“He’s a gifted scorer,” Fraschilla said on the broadcast Monday. “He shoots the three. He’s got the pull-up. He’s got good finishes at the rim.”
Burries’ first bucket gave Arizona a 6-0 lead less than two minutes into the game, and his first 3-pointer extended the Wildcats lead back to six after the Jayhawks had cut it to three points.
