Conference In The Court-X Factors

RE: Conference In The Court-X Factors

PG: Lorenzo Brown, North Carolina State
Brown entered the season touted as one of the top point guard prospects in the country, and rightfully so. He has great size at 6-foot-5 and was fresh off a sophomore campaign in which he averaged 13.7 points and 6.6 assists in his last six games while leading the Wolfpack to an unexpected berth in the Sweet 16.

Expectations were high for the Pack (ranked No. 6 in the preseason) and for Brown entering his junior year. And just like his team, he failed to respond early. Brown had nearly as many turnovers (22) as assists (26) in his first five games, which included a 20-point loss to Oklahoma State.

Things began to turn for Brown a few weeks later with a 10-assist effort against Michigan. Brown is averaging 12.4 points this season, and 14 points in his past five games. He had 15 points and nine assists in Mondays victory over UNC-Greensboro, providing one final boost of confidence as NC State prepares to challenge undefeated Duke for the ACC title.

"Hes really elevated his game after those first few weeks," Wolfpack coach Mark Gottfried said. "He's playing at a very high level right now."
