Strengths: Came into college as a top 10 recruit with huge potential ... Tremendous scorer with the ability to reel off big points in a short amount of time … Good ball handler for his size capable of bringing the ball up the court or taking his man off the dribble … Owns a quality first step to gain separation from his defender … Once in the lane, Brumbaugh possesses the body control and length to convert in traffic … Has an underrated basketball IQ that allows him to recognize mismatches and exploit them to his advantage … Owns great court vision which enables him to see the floor for open teammates … Has legit NBA three point range on his jumper … Quality rebounder who uses his length to grab boards out of his position … A natural lefty which automatically gives him an advantage on defenders since they're accustomed to defending right handed players … Plays the game with passion and emotion … Doesn’t back down from anything, competitive … Excellent in the open court where his speed and athleticism enables him to be a great finisher in transition … Defensively, he has great anticipation skills and quick hands to play passing lanes for steal opportunities … Aggressive at attacking the basket to create contact and draw fouls … Once on the line Brumbaugh is an excellent free throw shooter … Owns a solid turnaround jumper that he can make with some regularity … Feel for the game is tremendous, as one needs to consider the fact that after almost two years of non-organized ball, Brumbaugh simply dominated junior college basketball in one of the nation's premier JUCO conferences … After speaking with Coach Worrels, Brumbaugh is said to be a very coachable player who is eager to improve and seem to have matured ...

Weaknesses: Though just a sophomore, Brumbaugh will turn 23 this year ... Has had a number of off court troubles including losing his scholarship to Oklahoma State before his freshman season ... A good athlete, but not an explosive player capable of dominating opponents with his athleticism … Hasn’t improved tremendously on his upper body strength since high school … This can hinder him when absorbing contact on drives to the basket … Defensively, he has shown great improvement when defending on the perimeter, but remains a work in progress … Some of this has to do with his lateral movement, but fortunately it's something he can correct … Brumbaugh doesn’t possess the wingspan typically accompanied by someone of his size … Often settles for shooting three point shots from the perimeter, instead of putting pressure on defenders by going to the rim … This could be due to his mid-range game which has shown progress since high school, but is still an afterthought ... Doesn’t always let the game come to him and has a tendency to rush himself, but to his credit this could be partially attributed to him being the primary scoring option on his team … Shot selection can be questionable at times … Off court issues from his past have been well chronicled, but Brumbaugh has kept his nose clean this year … Tends to reach too much on defense for steals instead of moving his feet … Needs to improve on moving without the ball - he's accustomed to dominating the ball offensively … Will be viewed as a high risk high reward pick …

Notes: Has declared for the 2008 NBA draft ... Will have a lot to overcome if he chooses not to attend a Div 1 college before going pro ...
