Team USA was running a play from out of bounds, and it was a simple give-and-go, but it led to a high-flying dunk from Brown. The Cardinals' 5-star commit threw the ball to Nikolas Khamenia, and the Duke commit gave a perfect bounce pass right back to a cutting Brown, and the Louisville commit went soaring in the air and flushed it for two with a vicious tomahawk slam.

Brown has been showcasing his skills over the past week for Team USA, demonstrating just how elite he will be for the Cardinals next season. The 6-foot-3, 175-pound guard has been playing with excellent pace and has shown his elite ability to shoot off the dribble and from beyond the arc.

Now, Brown is showcasing his elite athleticism and letting the nation know not to jump with him. He can create a shot with his handles, and while he tends to go to his lethal stepback, he also just showed he can drive past his defender and viciously throw it down.

The incoming 5-star phenom can do it all, and he makes it look so effortless. Brown is seen on the court having fun and just loving the game he plays. Louisville basketball fans are going to have a lot of fun watching this kid play, and if the FIBA U19 Basketball World Cup 2025 is any preview, Brown is going to have a legitimate shot at the ACC Player of the Year award.

Brown ended the first half with 18 points, seven assists, and two rebounds.
