After studying in his home country, Brazelton turned professional in Europe in 2008 and initially played in Latvia and Poland , where he won the championship with Asseco Prokom Sopot in 2009. After a cruciate ligament rupture , he made his “comeback” in Germany at the beginning of 2011 , where he played for Eisbären Bremerhaven and Nürnberger BC, interrupted by an engagement in the NBA Development League (D-League) for the Erie BayHawks. He then played in Ukraine , Iran , Lithuania , Belarus , Turkey and France , to which he returned in December 2015 and has since played for BCM Gravelines.
Career
Brazelton went to study at the "Community College" of the Southwest Missouri State University at West Plains (SMSU) in 2004, where he played for the college team Grizzlies in the "National Junior Collegiate Athletic Association" (NJCAA). At the end of his two-year studies, he was voted “Player of the Year” at his conference in 2006 and was selected for the five best players of the year in the NJCAA (“NJCAA First Team All-American ”). In addition, the college accepted him in 2011 in the “Sports Hall of Fame” ( German Hall of Fame of Sports ) of the university. Brazelton then continued his studies in 2006 at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green (Kentucky) , where he played for the Hilltoppers college team with Courtney Lee and won the 2008 Sun Belt Conference championship. In the subsequent national final round of the NCAA you reached the round of 16 Sweet Sixteen , in which you lost to the UCLA Bruins .
After finishing his studies in 2008, Brazelton started a professional career and signed a contract with the club from the Latvian Ventspils . In January 2009 he moved to the Polish master Asseco Prokom from Sopot , with whom he defended the 2009 championship title. The club then changed its headquarters to Gdynia and released Brazelton in mid-November 2009 six weeks after the start of the following season from his contract, which then joined the Polish league competitor Energa Czarni from Słupsk . In the play-offs for the championship, in which Czarni was then eliminated by Brazelton former club and defending champion Asseco Prokom, Brazelton suffered a cruciate ligament rupture and was out for several months.
In January 2011 Brazelton had a trial training session with the German first division club Eisbären from Bremerhaven , who then signed him for the rest of the season. Here, however, he got injury problems again and only played eight games in the top German basketball division , whereupon his compatriot Terrell Everett , who had previously also started his studies at the SMSU in West Plains (Missouri) , was signed up. In the following season he finally joined the Erie BayHawks in the D-League in early 2012, with whom he was eliminated in the first round of the play-offs against eventual champions Austin Toros . For the following season 2012/13 he got an engagement with the basketball club from Nuremberg in the second German division ProA . After six weeks and nine missions, however, he changed clubs again in November 2012 to accept a better-paid offer for the Odessa club in the Basketball Superliga Ukraine . After they missed the play-offs for the championship as third-bottom at the end of the season, Brazelton moved to Iran to Petrochimi from Bandar-e Imam Khomeini , who had won the championship a month earlier.
In the following season 2013/14 Brazelton played first in the Lietuvos krepšinio lyga for Nevėžis from Kėdainiai and at the beginning of 2014 for three months for the Belarusian club Zmoki from Minsk , before he returned to the Lithuanian league in April 2014 and the season at Neptūnas Klaipėda finished, which surprisingly moved into the final series for the championship. Although the team lost the final series against defending champion Žalgiris Kaunas , as a runner-up they qualified for the first time for the highest-ranking European club competition Euroleague . Brazelton, however, moved on and played instead in the 2014/15 season in the French Le Havre for Saint-Thomas Basket in the LNB Pro B . For the first time since 2008, the club was able to qualify in the LNB Pro A 2014/15 as sixth in the main round for the play-offs for the French championship, in which they lost to the defending champions Limoges CSP in the first round . The 2015/16 season began Brazelton in the Türkiye Basketbol Ligi for Torku from Konya . At the end of 2015 he returned to France and played again on the English Channel , this time for BCM Gravelines from Dunkirk .
