Brandon Clark had a breakthrough season as a junior for the Broncos, averaging 16.9 points per game en route to a #4 ranking in shooting guards in the WCC.
Brandon Clark started off the year red hot, averaging 24.8 points per game in his first 4 games, including a 32 point outburst against North Dakota State. Clark stayed hot throughout WCC play, scoring double figures in every conference game. He struggled shooting in the WCC Tournament, going a combined 9-32 in his two games. However, he still managed to score 15 and 14 points, respectively.
The future looks bright for the Broncos; this year’s starting trio of Clark, Jared Brownridge, and Jalen Richard will all return next year, which will make them a formidable opponent on the perimeter against any team in the conference.
