Gabe Brown has earned some lofty comparisons in his two years in East Lansing and some fans have likened his athleticism to Jason Richardson. He has some hops and the potential to throw down over defenders with ease.
And he has some toughness and “Spartan Dawg” in him. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and he’s quite the competitor.
All of these are characteristics of Richardson, but Tom Izzo compared him to another former Spartan and national champion on Tuesday.
Izzo says he compares Gabe Brown to Morris Peterson and says the sophomore is ahead of where Peterson was at the same point in his development.
