Brown filled the stat sheet across the board, leading her team in rebounds (12.0), steals (5.1), and blocks (2.8) while adding playmaking and versatility to her game. At 5'9”, she plays bigger than her size, bringing toughness, activity, and a nonstop motor on both ends.   Her scoring ability jumps off the page, but it's the all-around impact that separates her. Brown creates offense, crashes the glass, disrupts defensively, and consistently shifts momentum in her team's favor.
