Branch III doesn't come equipped with the same offensive firepower, but he does have the potential to be a lottery pick in the 2027 NBA Draft. After going without a lottery pick for over a decade, Branch could be the third lottery pick out of BYU in as many drafts.

Branch III has spent the week preparing for the McDonald's All-American game. On Sunday, he participated in a scrimmage. On Monday, Branch participated in another scrimmage, media day, and the Sprite Jam Fest. The Jam Fest included a dunk contest, a three-point contest, and more. Tuesday's game will be the grand finale.

In a few months, Branch III will enroll at BYU and begin preparing for the 2025-2026 season. Meanwhile, BYU will starting building a roster around Branch in the transfer portal.
