Jillian Brown Jillian Brown 5'10" | CG East Grand Rapids | 2021 State #55 Nation MI is another very strong candidate for the Miss Basketball award this season. Prep Girls Hoops Michigan has her ranked at the 4 spot in the state for the class of 2021. She is ranked number 55 in the country according to Prep Girls Hoops. After high school, Brown will be playing basketball at Northwestern.
Brown has an excellent combination of skills and versatility on the perimeter. She’s a very capable combo guard that can log legitimate minutes at both spots. Brown is a creator in every sense of the word. She can seemingly always manage to create space to get a look at the rim. Brown is excellent and putting the ball on the floor, driving the lane, and reading the D from there and either finishing at the rim or dishing off to an open teammate. She is an outstanding shooter that has range that extends beyond the arc. The ball looks light when it leaves her fingers and splashes through the net. Brown seems to just have that feel for shooting the rock. That’s a great thing about her as a play though. We know how Brown’s shot got so good – Repetition. She’s a grinder that will put in the endless hours of work needed to be great.
Jillian Brown Jillian Brown 5'10" | CG East Grand Rapids | 2021 State #55 Nation MI would be a great choice as the 2021 Michigan Miss Basketball. Her hard work, performance, and success both on and off the court, are exactly what the award stands for. Brown’s name would fit nicely among the previous winners.
