Who is Lucas Brown?

Emerging Australian Representative Basketball Player

PERSONAL STATEMENT
Located - Brisbane, Australia
I am a polite, energetic, and driven person. Family orientated and deeply connected to my large group of friends and family. With both Australian and African heritage, I am proud of my background. I enjoy learning and am a very focused person, enjoy my fitness and being outside.
GOALS
I will play in the NBA. I understand the process involved regarding both my schooling and sport, and how important each of them is to getting into college. I train 6 days a week, do strength training at the gym, and run 12 km per week. I am driven with help from my mentors, coaches, the love and support of my parents and family, as well as myself, to achieve my goal as a professional basketball player. As I get older I know my goal to getting to the NBA requires hard work, dedication and willingness to constantly improve, but that is what drives me.
