'''Aaron Jordan Bramlett''' (born January 10, 1977) is an American former professional [[basketball]] player.

Bramlett was a three-year letterman at [[La Cueva High School]] in [[Albuquerque, New Mexico]], leading the Bears to a state championship in 1994. He committed to the [[University of Arizona]] in 1995 and played for the Wildcats for four years, rising to sixth on the school's career list for rebounding and 25th in scoring. He helped Arizona win the [[NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship]] in 1997, as well as reach the Sweet Sixteen in 1996, and the Elite Eight in 1998.

In 1999, Bramlett was taken by the [[Cleveland Cavaliers]] in the second round of the [[1999 NBA draft]]. Bramlett played only eight games with Cleveland, and was waived in January 2000. He also saw action in 35 [[Continental Basketball Association|CBA]] contests during the 1999–2000 season, playing for the [[La Crosse Bobcats]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=A.J.
