High school/college career[edit]

Brown began his career at Brother Rice High School, before transferring to Leo High School, where he went on to become a McDonald's All-American. He then enrolled at DePaul University.[1]

Professional career[edit]

Brown went on to play for three other teams throughout 2004–2005.[2] In the following season, he played professionally in South Korea for the Daegu Orions of the Korean Basketball League.[3]

Brown also played with the San Antonio Spurs during the 2006 Rocky Mountain Revue in Salt Lake City. In the team's fourth game, against the Philadelphia 76ers, he was the team's top scorer with 13 points.[4][5] Brown was a member of the Atlanta Hawks for almost a month, but prior to the 2006–07 NBA season he was cut from the training camp roster.

He was selected with the second overall pick in the 2006 NBA D-League draft by the Sioux Falls Skyforce and was named D-League Performer of the Week for December 18, 2006, averaging 23.3 points and 11.2 rebounds in 13 games during the month.[6][7][8] He led the league in scoring with 22.8 points per game, and was second in rebounding at 10.8 boards per game.[6][8]

Brown was signed to a 10-day contract by the Seattle SuperSonics on January 5, 2007.[6] After averaging 4.0 points and 2.0 rebounds in four games,[9] he was signed to a second 10-day contract on January 15.[9] He was subsequently signed for the rest of the season on January 25[1][10] after playing seven games, averaging 5.0 points and 2.9 rebounds. In 38 total games for the Sonics in 2006–07 he averaged 2.4 points and 1.9 rebounds a game.[11]

Prior to his signing with Memphis Grizzlies, Brown was on the Indiana Pacers' 2007 summer league team.[11] He joined the Grizzlies' roster prior to 2007–08, often being the last man off the bench. He averaged 3 points and rebounds per game in 33 contests although he got an opportunity to play extensively with the club already ousted from playoff contention and he then turned it up with averages of 16 points and 12 boards in the final three games (all losses) of the season.

Having signed as a free agent with the Charlotte Bobcats for 2008–09, Brown would be released in mid-November.

Brown played for the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Summer League in 2010.[12]

In October 2010, he signed with the Greek pro club Panellinios B.C. Lamia.[13]

In January 2011, Brown signed a temporary deal with the Perth Wildcats of the Australian National Basketball League, which was later extended for the rest of the season due to the injury of Shawn Redhage.[14]
