2018 NBA Draft Big Board 7.0
Brown is one of the most unique prospects in the draft, blending defensive versatility and playmaking like few others. He was out of the national spotlight at Oregon, but put together a solid campaign that’s worthy of lottery consideration.
At 6-foot-7, Brown has a 6-foot-10 wingspan and a sturdy frame, giving him the potential to defend one through four. He’s somewhat short on lateral quickness, but he has strong instincts and competes hard every possession.
Inconsistent shooting mechanics hurt Brown, but he should at least become a reliable spot-up shooter. He ability to playmake off the bounce, whether it be running the pick-and-roll or finding teammates off drives to the rim, gives him intriguing upside on the offensive end.
