At one point, UCLA had been considered to have a strong chance at landing Brown. Georgia and Georgia Tech are the in-state schools for the 6-foot-7 Marietta (GA) Wheeler wing. He remains undecided among the other five.

“That’s what I’m trying to figure out now, what’s the best fit for me,” he told ESPN at the McDonald’s All-American Game. “I can play with a lot of good guys but I’m trying to figure out what I got going on.”

He did not address the media at the Jordan Brand Classic recently in Brooklyn and did not play in the game.

Brown is projected as the No. 2 pick in the 2016 NBA Draft by DraftExpress.com.
