Mikel Brown Jr., 6'5, 190, PG, Louisville, Fr.

• Comp: De'Aaron Fox / Donovan Mitchell / Penny Hardaway

• Ceiling: ALL-NBA

• Floor: Bench

• Super explosive athlete

• Good efficiency, could be higher but not bad

• Solid on defense

• Can get to his spots easily

• Natural leader

• Shows good flashes of being a primary facilitator

• Rebounds good for his size

• Good at using his body, but wouldn't hurt him to add a little weight

• Expectation: ALL-NBA; He's the perfect Number 2, PG build. Could be the best player on a team but I don't think he could be the best on a contender

A poised 6'5" lead guard whose foundation is built on high-level perimeter shooting, both off-the-catch and off-the-dribble. He runs the P&R with maturity, controls the tempo, and makes great reads as a floor general. He needs to add strength to his frame to handle contact better and finish effectively against NBA size. He's got that flair and energy that NBA squads covet.
