Braedan Lue Brings Defensive Fire to Tennessee

Six-foot-nine junior forward Braedan Lue brings elite defensive firepower and versatile skills to Tennessee basketball, stepping into a critical frontcourt role after four key players left last season. Known for 86 career blocks and 56 steals at Kennesaw State, Lue averages over 10 points and 5 rebounds and is ready to help the Vols compete — especially with a strong backcourt led by Dai Dai Ames and Terrence Hill Jr. His new teammate Miles Rubin calls him a “Swiss Army knife” for his ability to score, rebound, and defend. Lue’s motivation? Watching three former Vols get drafted this week — and he’s convinced Coach Rick Barnes can turn him into the next one.
