Looking at Jordan Brown's skills set

Andrew Slater analyzing Jordan Brown's game after the USA Basketball U16 trials:

"The 6'9" freshman honor roll student from Sacramento brings different dimensions to the USA 16U team than the other big men. Brown, a high-character kid, is a very fluid athlete who both likes to face-up from the high-post as well play above the rim on dribble dish-offs and in transition. Defensively, he uses his length, athleticism and high basketball IQ to affect shots and deflect passes. He runs the court extremely well. Relatively new to the game, as Brown adds upper-body strength and his skill level continues to develop, his upside may be as high as any big man at the USA Basketball trials. His father, Dion, was drafted by the San Antonio Spurs in 1984, after leaving Louisiana-Lafayette as its all-time leading rebounder. Not surprisingly, Jordan Brown does a very good job of rebounding outside of his area. Brown gives Coach Showalter post versatility and depth, because of his ability to play either power forward when they want to go very big or even center when he wants to speed up opponents."
