School: North Meck
North Meck is certainly a well-known program in North Carolina and they have the pedigree of producing some intriguing talent. This year, they are led by their guard play but when you watch this team, there are others that certainly contribute to the team’s success. One player is 2022 6’8 Tyree Bracey, who has been asked to play big, help defend the paint, and do some of the dirty work. He continues to be a strong presence on the boards, using his length and athleticism to his advantage but he can be a tough matchup for other bigs especially with his ability to step out and knock down shots. Bracey has been a great glue-type guy and just helps make winning plays, not having to be the focal point to find success. Tyree is the younger brother of Lysander Bracey, who played at Northside Christian and then at Hampton University. Whether he is needed to step up offensively and take advantage of his matchup, be active on the boards, or use his length as a shot-blocker, Bracey is an important presence for this team and could be a nice get for a program at the next level.
What Has Been Said:
“Moving onto a player that highlighted a pretty appealing amount of skill, especially for his size, Tyree Bracey. He’s a long, wiry, team-first forward prospect with a high IQ and the ability to make plays with or without the ball in his hands. Bracey operates with an active motor and utilizes it to consistently secure rebounds and force turnovers as a defender. He moves well to get open and proved to be an exceptional perimeter shooter from midrange and beyond the arc. Bracey finishes well around the basket and is capable of using either hand out of the post… Coach Black on Bracey: “Tyree is really skilled. He has the ability to finish and handle the ball quite well. He’s a capable passer with nice vision and strong rebounding instincts for his position.” Bracey enjoyed a productive showing at camp and could carve out a useful role for North Mecklenburg over the next few years.” – Phenom 150 Camp
“2022 Tyree Bracey is a name that should certainly help, as he brings length and the ability to step out along the perimeter and knock down shot.” – Patrick O’Brien from Open Gym
“6’7 2022 Tyree Bracey is another glue piece on this team that fulfills a vital role. Bracey rebounds, extends beyond the arc and hits jumpers. In my opinion, he’d thrive on the wing at the next level more than he would as an interior option.” – DeAjai Dawkins
