She shows the ability to finish around the rim with both hands, but she has a ton of confidence with her off hand. She's usually money at the free-throw line, which is truly impactful due to her ability to draw fouls. Defensively, she's usually tasked with guarding the hard assignments from the opponent. </p> <!-- /wp:paragraph --> <!-- /wp:acf/evaluation-block --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["419376"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"preview","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-6657ee80ab853"} --> <!-- wp:paragraph --> <p>Brown is a player who can contribute to whatever the team needs. On the offensive side of the floor, she shows a strong ability to score. She can finish at the rim, score beyond the arc, and also has a knack for getting to the mid-range.

Coaches look for players with high energy and effectiveness on both offense and defense in college basketball recruiting. Two-way players, who excel on both ends of the court, are particularly sought after. Their versatility and relentless work ethic make them invaluable to any college program.
