Participates in exhibition Brazile had four points (2-7 FG, 0-4 3Pt) and three rebounds across 19 minutes off the bench in an Oct. 20 exhibition victory over UT Tyler. Impact Don't look too far into Brazile coming off the bench, as several other projected starters such as Davonte Davis and Khalif Battle served in a reserve capacity as well and even played more minutes than a few of the starters. Even if he doesn't crack the starting five, Brazile was still a major fantasy factor in his brief time as a reserve with Arkansas last year, averaging 11.8 points and 6.0 rebounds in nine games off the bench. What's largely important here, however, is that Brazile is clear of his knee injury, as he wouldn't otherwise be participating in a relatively meaningless exhibition. The Razorbacks get a much tougher preseason test against Zach Edey and the Purdue Boilermakers on Saturday, which will hopefully give fantasy managers a better idea of Brazile's expected usage.
