The Texas Longhorns’ latest one-and-done has found a home in the NBA, as the Portland Trail Blazers have selected forward Greg Brown III with the No. 43 pick in the 2021 NBA Draft.
Brown becomes the fourth one-and-done from the Shaka Smart era to be drafted, joining Jarrett Allen (2017), Mohamed Bamba (2018) and Jaxson Hayes (2019).
During his lone season with the Longhorns, Brown averaged 9.3 points and 6.2 boards in just 20.6 minutes per game. Along the way, he displayed flashes of both his potential and the project he’ll likely become as he aims to find a role at the highest level.
