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.


Lucas' history so far...

Lucas has established himself as a talented basketball player since the age of 13. He has played consistently every year at club level, representative level from age 14, and in the AAU comps in Australia since early 2024.
