Bryce Brown. 2. player. 525. Senior - Guard. 15.3 ppg - 2.4 rpg - 2.4 apg. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis

I couldn’t decide which player from the Tigers would cause more havoc so we will touch on both Bryce Brown and Jared Harper. Both guys can take over games, and when they both are on, you might as well give up.

We start with Bryce Brown, the senior guard from Stone Mountain, GA. He fits the description of the typical Bruce Pearl run-and-gun guard. Brown loves to shoot the three-point shot and even pulls up in transition quite often.

Brown is averaging 15.3 points a game which leads the Tigers. He is attempting around nine three-point shots a game but only shooting 36 percent from deep. However, when Brown gets hot, he is hard to stop. He scored 34 points on 6-of-13 from deep against Dayton earlier in the season.

Junior Guard. 1. player. 525. Pick Analysis. 14.9 ppg - 6.8 apg - 3.2 rpg. Jared Harper. Scouting Report

A bit undersized at 5-foot-11 but don’t let that fool you. Jared Harper can flat out score the basketball. For all, you hardcore SEC basketball fans think about to around 10-12 years ago when former South Carolina Gamecock Devan Downey was torturing the league with his outstanding play.

Harper’s game reminds me a lot of Downey. He isn’t afraid to attack the basket and can knock down the outside jumper. His 14.9 points per game are coming from everywhere on the court. He is shooting 39 percent from the field and 41 percent from beyond the arc.
