Additional Information |
Brown, who could be the No. 1 pick, was one of four players the Hawks worked
out. The others were Oak Hill (Va.) Academy center DeSagana Diop, Seton Hall
center Samuel Dalembert and Villanova power forward Michael Bradley.
The versatile Brown was the most impressive of the four, relying on his
speed, shooting touch and athleticism. Often compared to a young Kevin Garnett,
Brown looked sure of himself playing inside and outside.

Strengths: Versatile player has the ability to shoot the ball inside and out.... Super
athletic runs the floor, jumps out the gym , and has very good quickness ....
Good rebounder due in part to his quick leaping ability and long wingspan ....
Can handle the basketball very well like a guard and can even lead the fast
break .... Good passer recognizes double teams well and makes quick adjustments
... Very good shot-blocker can cover a lot of area ....Can make the 17 foot
jumper with some consistency and has even shown the ability to shot off the
dribble ... Has a nice soft touch around the basket ..... Unlike most young
players Brown understands what he can and can't do....
Weakness: Not very comfortable playing with his back to the basket has a tendency to rush
himself .... Although Brown has a good body he could use more upper body
strength ..... Post footwork still goes through periods were it can be choppy
... Falls in love with his jumper sometimes he settles for playing outside
instead of mixing it up inside .... Low post offense is still developing
although not bad but far from being consistent .... Has a habit of going for
every shot that comes around him needs to learn how to be more disciplined on
defense ...... Hasn't really played against a high level of competion in high
school ....
