The 24-years-old guard-forward, who won the Maccabiah games twice with Team USA, signs his first professional contract with the Yellow-and-Blue
Braelee Albert was born on July 8, 2001, in Los Angeles, California. He began making a name for himself in high school while excelling academically and was set to enroll at the prestigious Brown University before being recruited by former NBA star Jerry Stackhouse to play at Vanderbilt. During his two seasons there, he averaged double-digit minutes per game, then transferred to Tulane and later to Loyola New Orleans, which competes in the NAIA college league.
At Loyola, he started in 30 of the 48 games he played, averaging over 28 minutes per night while contributing 11 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 2.3 assists per game. Capable of playing both shooting guard and small forward, he now enters his professional career with his first signed contract.
