As we move further along in the process, we will dig into the personal character of the candidates as well. This is an incredibly prestigious award, as this award will only be given to one player within Small College Basketball per season.”
In 14 games played for the Gulls this season, Brown has averaged 21.2 points, 6.9 rebounds and 2.1 assists per game. Brown also has produced a 50.5 field goal percentage (103-for-204), a 42.0 three-point field goal percentage (47-for-112), and a 78.6 free throw percentage (44-for-56).

Meanwhile, among all NCAA Division III student-athletes, Brown is positioned No. 19 in three-point field goals made, No. 30 in points, No. 36 in field goals made, and No. 48 in points per game.
