Strengths

What jumps off the page when keying in on Brown is the fact that he possesses point guard-level skills as a wing player. It should be noted that Brown didn’t display the greatest playmaking production in Eugene this year, considering he recorded 3.2 assists and had a 1.28 assist-to-turnover ratio.

But with his great size (6’7″) and incredible frame (210 lbs.), Brown has the potential to be a matchup nightmare, depending on how much he’s utilized as a lead playmaker once he makes the jump to the league.

Brown’s ball skills and overall frame are also evident in his adept ability to finish off drives at the hoop. As a Duck, Brown put home 72 of his 110 attempts at the basket (65.5 percent), ranking him in the 85th percentile among wings this year, per Will Schreefer’s shot chart tool over at The Stepien.

Switching over to the defensive side of the ball, Brown is an incredibly sound defender, one who utilizes his tools to his advantage both on and off the ball. Along with that, Brown has the strength and the wingspan (6’11”) to check stronger forwards and slot down deeper into lineups on the court.

Those qualities, along with his drive, also make him a strong rebounder on the defensive glass for a player of his position, seeing that he registered a 18 percent defensive rebounding percentage this season.
