Brandon comes off as sooooo humble.. thoughtful.. introspective.. intelligent.. appreciative.. realistic… and yet also very confident in himself. What a special player and human we have here.. and we are so lucky to have him up here in Canada.. on the Toronto Raptors. I agree with him and the team.. he was the perfect fit.
