Jaylen Brown, California
(13) Hawaii vs California (4) – Friday, 2:00 PM (ET)
Coming out of high school, Jaylen Brown was one of the most touted college prospects. Almost a year under his belt at California and he hasn’t disappointed. Brown is a 6-foot-7 small forward that probably has the ability to play the shooting guard at the next level.
Coming into the NCAA Tournament, Brown is averaging 15 points, six rebounds and two assists for the Bears. He’s the team’s second-leading scorer and is always a must-watch when he’s on TV. He can turn in a highlight dunk on any given minute – you’ve probably seen him on SportsCenter at some point this season.
Brown has all the traits of a top 10 NBA Draft pick. And if he can help California make any kind of run in the tournament, his draft stock will only improve. With all the physical tools, Brown’s ceiling in the NBA is as high as they come.
