Former All-ACC NC State Guard Lorenzo Brown will represent the country of Spain in the 2024 Summer Olympics.

Yes, Brown is from the United States. He hails from the state of Georgia.

But, back in 2022, Zo became a naturalized citizen of Spain, even though he had never lived there, nor played professionally there.

FIBA has a rule, that each national team can have one naturalized player on their roster per game.

Brown was also pursued by Croatia to become a naturalized player on their roster, but Zo chose to play for Spain, having a prior connection with their head coach Sergio Scariolo, when he was with the Toronto Raptors in the NBA.
