Brown checks every box for the Sixers. He’s another versatile defender who’s equally as versatile on the offensive end, capable of handling the ball and creating for others. He needs to improve his decision-making at times, but the tools for a legitimate secondary ball handler are there.

Oregon didn’t draw much national attention this season, but Brown put together a solid freshman campaign. His strong frame and long wingspan project well on the defensive end, with the potential to guard at least three positions.

The Ducks managed to put his offensive repertoire on display as well. He’s a capable pick-and-roll threat who spent legitimate time running the offense. He wasn’t overly efficient from deep, but has a projectable stroke and high-I.Q. approach that should allow him to contribute in a variety of different roles.

With the NBA becoming increasingly dependent on versatility, it’s easy for a prospect like Brown to catch a team’s eye. He does a lot of things well offensively and should be successful on the other end. Expect the Sixers to at least give him a look.
