1. He’s shot the 3-ball well everywhere he’s been

At Loyola Marymount in 2025-26, the California native hit 38.2 percent of his 3-pointers (87 of 228, leading the West Coast Conference in made 3-pointers). He averaged 14.0 points, 1.8 rebounds and 1.4 steals in 32 minutes per game and shot .425 overall from the field and .830 from the free-throw line (44 of 53, not a lot of attempts for someone who logged over 1,000 minutes). The Lions finished 15-17 overall and 6-12 in the WCC.

In four games against the WCC’s NCAA Tournament squads – two against Santa Clara and one apiece against Gonzaga and Saint Mary’s – Brown shot a total of 9-of-23 from deep (39.1 percent).

As a sophomore at Virginia Tech, Brown saw limited playing time and shot .424 from 3-point range (14 of 33). As a freshman at Cal, when Cal was still in the Pac-12, he shot .397 from deep (23 of 58) as a regular rotation piece.

All told, over three collegiate seasons, Brown is shooting .389 from 3-point range, .415 from the field and .794 from the free-throw line.
