BrandonClayScouting.com Player Evaluations
Date: May 28, 2015
Evaluator: Brandon Clay
Location: USA Basketball U16 Trials (Colorado Springs, Colo.)
Brown is a left-handed shooter who played mainly off of the ball in this eval. A good athlete with bounce, Brown has been at his best in the open floor during our evals to date. He’s a smaller option at the two but can score though not a specialist based on this eval.

Brown played limited minutes off of the bench in the first half here today. He played off of the ball as a shooting guard. When he got more minutes in the second half we saw the talent that we noted at USA a few months before. He has exceptionally long arms for his size that allows him to finish at the rim. He has a solid spot up jumper and good lift to rebound. He finished with 5 points and 4 rebounds in a loss to Archbishop Carroll.

Brown showed all the tools needed to be a 5-star point guard in this camp setting. In a gym full of talent, who proved his ability to make plays against some of the country’s best. The left-handed point guard is explosive getting to the rim and will set up his teammates with accurate passes. His midrange and floater game is tough. He consistently found ways to score from 10 feet and in. The one area we would like to see more from is his jumper at the arc.

Brown is a left-handed shooting guard who excels at scoring in the midrange. In that way, his game resembles Trevon Duval (NJ-17) as a guard who lacks typical size but can score it with the best of em. Brown also showed the vision to pass the ball well from either guard position.
