Another first time viewing a prospect at the Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo. 6’2” physical guard Paris Brown Paris Brown 6'2" | PG/SG Portage | 2028 State IN out of Portage was relentless getting to the basket where was showed a high level of finishing around the basket. Uses angles well and absorbs contact on his drives. Didn’t force anything at the rim and showed he is a willing passer.

One of several talented guards from Portage High School that made the trip down to Prep Hoops Indiana: The Expo, Brown found success getting to the paint off of the dribble on Sunday. The 6’1″ guard used a quick left-to-right crossover to get into the lane where he consistently passed it to open teammates both around the basket and out on the perimeter. He also had a tough left-handed finish at the end of one of his drives that really caught our attention. Look for Brown to be a key factor as a junior in what will be a loaded Portage backcourt.

There is always some talent popping up at Merrillville High School and this 6’1″ guard looks to be the next in that lineage. Brown made a couple of great plays in transition as a willing passer who was always looking to make plays ahead of him down the floor. Then, on the defensive end, he jumped passing lanes and was consistently disruptive on the ball. There is some length and quick-twitch athleticism to work with as Brown continues to develop.
