For the last couple of years the NCAA has enacted the early signing period for basketball recruits. The first period was this past Friday, an some of the top talent across the nation got their choices out of the way an can focus on the season.
One of those top talents is a shooting guard out of Hinesville, GA by the name of Rion Brown. I have seen this kid play a few times in AUU tournaments and the more I see him the more I am impressed. When you see Rion the first thing that jumps out to you is his height standing at 6'5 185 lbs. His long frame makes for a difficult match-up in terms of defending Rion. His offensive game is a mature one an the thing that sticks out to me is the patience that he plays with. Rion is never in a hurry weather making a drive to the hole or shooting the perimeter jumper.
Rion is a very very good shooter. He can extend the defense with his shot from beyond the arch. He consistently knocks down this shot, thus making him a hard cover when he pulls it down and takes it to the hole. His long arms allow him to take it up over most defenders. The best an most polished part of Rion's game is the back to the basket portion. Rion is able to isolate smaller defenders and fade away which makes him almost impossible to defend. This coupled with his ability to spin an take it to the whole is why Rion is one of the better shooting guards in the Southeast.
Check out Rion's talent an see what kind of recruit the University of Miami is getting.
