Brown

The 6-foot-8 Brown played two seasons at Syracuse before transferring to Duke ahead of the 2024-25 campaign. As a senior, he averaged 4.9 points, 5.2 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.8 steals and 0.6 blocks in 20.3 minutes, providing decent contributions off the Duke bench. His length and athleticism have him on draft radars despite limited offensive production; Brown averaged 2.2 steals per game during his sophomore season at Syracuse. Brown’s offensive impact is limited, but the Spurs have once again made an effort to beef up their frontcourt. Brown, along with Tarris Reed Jr. and Jayden Quaintance, should help ensure San Antonio will be stronger down low when Victor Wembanyama is on the bench.
