EUROCHALLENGE: “24-year old point guard J’Covan Brown (188-PG-90) put on an amazing game in the last round for league’s best team Astana and receives a Eurobasket.com Player of the Week award for round 2.
He had the game-high 34 points adding seven rebounds and three assists for Astana in his team’s victory, helping them to edge out Tofas (0-2) in overtime 106-102. It allowed Astana to consolidate first place in the EuroChallenge group D. But it’s just the very beginning of the season and Astana won both games without losing any. It’s too early to say anything as the standings can be changed completely after next round. In the team’s last game Brown had a remarkable 100.0% from 2-point range and got four three-pointers out of 7 attempts. He turned to be Astana’s top player in his first season with the team. The University of Texas graduate has very impressive stats this year. Brown is in league’s top in points (2nd best: 24.5ppg) and averages solid 100.0% FGP and 46.2% from behind 3-point line.”
