Auburn’s all-time leader in three-point shooting, Brown enjoyed an incredible four-year career with the Tigers from 2015-16 to 2018-19. In his senior season, the 6-foot-3 shooting guard put up 15.9 points and 2.1 rebounds per game while shooting 41.0 percent from deep and was a huge part of Auburn’s run to the Final Four.

Like Harper, Brown would go undrafted in 2019 and the sharpshooter would then sign with the Maine Red Claws — the G-League affiliate of the Boston Celtics.

Brown would continue to be a strong shooter from outside to start his G-League career as he had shot 42.4 percent from beyond the arc on nearly nine attempts per game. Brown averaged 16.1 points and 3.6 rebounds per game for the Red Claws in 34 games.

Brown also set a G-League record in December when he went 11-11 from beyond the arc and 15-17 from the field, scoring 43 points in the process.

While the NBA’s expanded rosters for the resumed season give Brown a chance to be called up to the Celtics main roster, the former Auburn star is now getting ready to participate in The Basketball Tournament in July.

Brown joins several former Tigers on “War Tampa” as they try to win $1 million in the annual tournament.
