Even though Mikel Brown Jr. is one of the top basketball players in the country, he believes he still has room to grow and improve. “I don’t really look into one side of my game,” Brown told On3. “I look at all of it and try to create a balance. I’m constantly working on all types of moves to get to the basket, finishing at the rim, shooting, guarding the ball better, and rebounding. I’m looking to improve in all aspects of the game.” But there are parts of Brown's game that he's really proud of. “I’m constantly communicating with my team and putting them in the right position to be successful,” Brown said. “Also, I can score it at a high clip and I’m an overall point guard. I can play make for my teammates and pass the ball really well. That’s the best part of my game.” Brown, who is originally from Orlando but plays with Overtime Elite, was selected to the USA Basketball Junior National U18 Team in 2024.

Senior National Recruiting Analyst

Mikel Brown, Jr. is a smallish point guard with a huge heart and basketball IQ. Brown has a developed skill set, one that allows him to play with the utmost confidence. He has a slick handle with great footwork, putting the ball in the right spots during a game. Brown is also a smooth shooter with deep and consistent range. His size will bring questions. He needs to add strength, and with that will come more burst and pop. He has an understanding of defensive concepts when it comes to footwork and rotations, but he will need to continue adding strength on that end as well. Brown is poised beyond his years with the ball in his hands and is the type of point guard who makes those around him better offensively.
