Value Add Top 50: John Brown Visits Georgetown

John Brown has hit 65 percent of his shots, but Thursday he will face a Georgetown team that only lets opponents make 36.8 percent of their shots. Brown ranks 2nd in Value Add on the initial top 50 that includes five ACC players and is led by Roberto Nelson of Oregon State. Brown is followed by third-ranked Jordan Adams of UCLA, Sean Kilpatrick of Cincinnati and Kevin Pangos at Gonzaga (see top 50 list below).

The ACC is led by Lamar Patterson (Pitt 17), Tyler Ennis (Syracuse, 20), Jerian Grant (Notre Dame, 21), and Marcus Paige (UNC, 29) and Olivier Hanlan (Boston College, 30).

Against a very good Stetson defense (75th of 351), Brown had 27 points, 13 rebounds, three blocked shots and two steals while going 11 for 11 from the line. Despite drawing all the defense attention since he takes 32.3 percent of High Point’s shots, he has made 65 percent of all shots this year and 80 percent of all free throws. When High Point misses a shot, Brown grabs the rebound 21.5% of the time, the second best total in the country.
