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.
