2020-21 Season Highlights:
• Logged action in 17 games, contributing 4.4 points and 2.5 rebounds per game.
• Notched his first career start in the season’s second against North Georgia.
• Recorded a pair of double-digit scoring outputs against Jacksonville and Mississippi State.
• Scored a career-high 14 points in 15 minutes of action against Jacksonville, headlined by a highlight reel alley-oop.
• Brown prevented a deflected ball from going out of bounds on defense and passed to Tyron McMillan, who quickly passed to Sahvir Wheeler. Wheeler drove toward the basket delivering a floating that Brown slammed through the basket. @ESPN tweeted “The save ... and the finish!” and added a “hammer” emoji for good measure. Google “Christian Brown alley-top Jacksonville.” You won’t be disappointed.
