Not a big guard, but he will be the go-to guy and playmaker for Lincoln. Cannot be left open from three because he will make you pay for it. He can create offense on his own with a dribble pull-up game as well. Moves well without the ball to free up his shot. Will be one of the top scorers in AA this year. I think he could hit 18-20 ppg, if things align. Defends at a high level with his rare movement and strong frame. Committed to University of Sioux Falls for football.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-655616d33bcc5"} /--> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["1266274"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"Brouwer is a big guard/wing that is fairly long with a built-up, lean muscular frame.

Twitchy and explosive. Has a creative handle on the ball and likes to attack with different moves. Uses an effective spin move. Glides and can hang in the air with his impressive vertical. Rises up high for boards and will take it coast-to-coast. Looked to be tough to contain off the drive, with his skilled handle and athleticism/length. Uses his movement ability to pressure on the perimeter and stay in front of his matchup.

Can create and make his 3-ball opportunities. Routinely gets far deep in the paint to make things happen for his team. Defends intensely and persistently.

Has good length at 6'3. Can stretch the floor with his 3-point ability. He would have been a producer and starter on most varsity teams.
