3. Khani Rooths
The Cardinals' 4-star commit from 2024 will see drastic improvements this upcoming season, and a lot will be from playing with a future NBA lottery pick. Khani Rooths enters the season with high expectations after averaging just 3.3 points and 3.0 rebounds per game in his true freshman season.
Brown and Rooths have worked out a good amount this offseason in some two-man drills, making it appear the two are going to run a solid two-man game. With Rooths growing to 6-foot-10 and improving his shot from beyond the arc, these two rising stars should make a lethal duo with some ball screens.
Brown has tremendous court vision and is an elite playmaker. So, when Rooths sets a screen for Brown, expect the 5-star guard to find a way to get the ball to Rooths, whether it is a lob or a bounce pass through the lane. This duo should be fun to watch, and Rooths is going to see his stock skyrocket from playing with Brown.
