Mikel Brown Jr. is one of only three players since 2008 to finish a season with an assist rate above 30%, 14-plus three-point attempts per 100, 84% from the free throw line, and a free throw rate above 35. The other two? Steph Curry and Trae Young. The 34% from three gives you pause—but the volume, the degree of difficulty, and the 84% from the stripe tell a different story. The shooting is coming. The playmaking is already there. And when Brown was locked in this season, the highs were as high as anyone in this class. Back injury. Inconsistent lineup role. Volatile freshman year. None of that changes what the ingredients are pointing at. #NBADraft #nbadraftcombine #nba
