Skills:
Brown offers an incredibly diverse skillset with everything from secondary playmaking to efficiency in the pick-and-roll, but his calling card is really his switchability defensively. Despite being just 6’5″ and weighing under 200 pounds, he routinely defended big wings and even forwards at times during his time at Miami.
