College Stats

Strengths: Great wingspan, and size if he is going to play the SF position in the NBA. Has developed a nice jump shot which he has improved on in the last season. Great leaping ability, and footwork. Very quick off his feet whether it be going for a rebound or up for a dunk. An excellent rebounder with great boxout ability, and the wquickness to get to the ball if out of position.


Weaknesses: If Brown plays the SF position he will have to work on his outside shot. Most of his baskets are from dunks, and it's boon only this year that he has developed anything consistent outside of 15ft. Brown does have the ability to shoot because he has good form on his FTs. It's just a matter of working on it. He tends to bite a lot on pump fakes, but it's somethign he can work on, and has been something he has improved on as of late. If he is slotted to play PF in the NBA all sorts of problems will arise with strength, size, and defense against larger players.
