High school career

Brown began his high school career at Columbia High School, where he averaged 18 points and 5 assists per game as a junior.[1] He was playing a video game when his father, Cedric Brown suffered a heart attack, requiring emergency stent surgery. At the time, Columbia was competing in the Georgia AAAA state playoffs, and Brown was limited by a back injury, resulting in a loss in the championship game.[2] As a senior, he transferred to Tucker High School. Brown was a three-star recruit, the number 70 shooting guard in the 247sports rankings. He committed to Auburn.[1]

College career

Brown posted 10.1 points per game as a freshman at Auburn.[3] As a sophomore, Brown averaged 7.5 points per game. He increased his scoring to 15.9 points per game as a junior, shooting 40.1 percent from the field and 38.2 percent from 3-point range. Brown was a first team All-SEC selection by the Associated Press and second team selection by the coaches. After the season, Brown declared for the 2018 NBA draft but did not hire an agent to preserve his collegiate eligibility.[4] On May 29, he announced his return to Auburn, citing "unfinished business."[5]
