Springfield, MO native and Yanders Law alumnus Trevon Brazile was taken 35th in the 2026 NBA Draft.
The first Springfield, MO high school graduate to be drafted since 1985, our guy Trevon Brazile was selected by the San Antonio Spurs early in the second round before being traded as part of a package deal to join the Denver Nuggets. The Nuggets were the 2023 NBA Champions, featuring three-time NBA MVP Nikola Jokic.
Brazile played for Parkview for three seasons before attending Kickapoo during his senior year and winning a Missouri state championship. He attended Mizzou his freshman year of college, but found his home and made his mark playing for Arkansas, where his highlights frequently made the rounds across hoops Twitter and beyond.
Trevon was a standout player for Yanders Law AAU basketball. He started growing in the middle years of high school, and finally topped out at his current height of 6’10. His length and nose for getting to the rim have yielded explosive results over the years. He has also developed three-ball and excellent defensive instincts that he and Denver will continue to build upon.
A big piece in Brazile’s early development was the late Rob Yanders, who oversaw Trev’s adjustments through growth, physical and otherwise, navigating high school ball, and eventually college. Rob would be very proud, though not very surprised to see Brazile headed to the NBA.
The Basketball Movement and Yanders Law family is thrilled for Trevon and his loved ones as he continues his basketball journey at the highest level. We are proud and always in your corner, Trevon!
