In his second NBA Summer League game, the former Blue Devil didn’t offer much offensively, but his defense is what Duke fans have come to expect, and then some. And that, he had plenty of.

One play in particular is going to get lots of oohs and aahs from fans and probably some from his teammates and the San Antonio management team.

Take a look. Former Michigan star Yaxel Lendeborg looks like he’s going to get an easy layup, but Brown comes rushing into the frame and absolutely soars to flick it out of bound.

This is not the clever defense we saw at Duke, where Brown mostly outsmarted you on the ground. This is some surprising hang time. If he had jumped just a little later, he would have had to have kept one eye on the rim, because his head would have run into it.

It was probably pretty sweet to do that to Lendeborg, since Duke beat Michigan late in the season and missed a chance to do it again in the Final Four.
