Brown lauded

Dakota Schmidt writes about the LA-Defenders Jabari Brown:

"Since his time with Missouri, where he lead the entire SEC conference in scoring during his final season with 20 PPG, Jabari Brown has been looked at as a dominant scoring threat. Despite that reputation, Brown remained an unsigned commodity after being in training camp from the Los Angeles Lakers. Following that release from the Lakers, Brown signed on with the LA D-Fenders, where he hasn't looked back since.

Anchored by a quick and smooth shooting stroke, Brown has continued to stake his claim as one of the league's most dominant scoring threats throughout the season. That shooting stroke has lead to Brown maintaining a respectable 38% three-point shooting percentage, which only trails Vander Blue among the D-Fenders current rotation players.

In addition to his his impeccable shooting stroke, Brown maintains a quick first-step which allows him to be an effective half-court penetrator. After breaking away from the opposition, Brown can either lace up a running floater or drive directly to the rim. Brown has been able to maintain that consistency as he moves closer to the paint, as he's shot 62% from inside the restricted area.

As his scoring prowess has elevated his status as one of the league's best scorer, he's yet to develop as a facilitator (averaging a lackluster .75 Ast/TO ratio), which could hinder his potential as an NBA prospect..."
