Brandon Alston‘s first year as a Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket last year had its ups and its downs. The graduate transfer played in 32 games for the Jackets last year and started 19 of them at guard. Defined as the Jackets “three-and-d” role, Alston will most likely reprise that role this season.
Alston got out to a quick start last year for Tech, scoring 10,14, and 20 points respectively in his first three games. However, his scoring pace would slow down for the season, crossing the 10-point threshold just three more times for the season. The returns of Tadric Jackson and Josh Okogie from suspension and injury played a large part of his diminished stats and role.
