Mikel Brown Jr. was one of the big winners of the summer following his breakout performance at the 2025 FIBA U19 Men’s World Cup, where he averaged 14.9 points, 6.1 assists, and 2.1 rebounds to help Team USA go 7–0 and win gold. Many felt he was deserving of the tournament’s MVP, and his play has vaulted him firmly into the conversation as a potential top-five pick—and even a candidate for No. 1 overall—in the 2026 NBA Draft.
