– D-Favors Celtics
The Lovejoy wing provided a slashing presence for the D-Favors Celtics in a 64-43 win over Double Trouble. Brown balances strength and bounce. He had a thunderous jam when he got all the way to the rim. He didn’t need to showcase it, but Brown is an efficient shooter and a near automatic converter from the foul line. He went for 14 points, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 2 blocks.
2022 6-3 W Dewey Newton – Hollywood Stars
Newton thrived in the open court. He is a strong athlete that can elevate to finish at the rim. More than just a leaper and straight-line slasher, Newton canned a three ball to keep the defense on its toes. He has some upside as a perimeter defender. Newton had 12 points, 2 rebounds and 2 steals vs. the Georgia Shock.

Games like these can only help his development. He kept his head in the game and stayed engaged until the clock read zeros.
