Who is Lucas Brown?

Emerging Australian Basketball Player

PERSONAL STATEMENT
Located - Brisbane, Australia
Age - 17
I am a polite, energetic, and driven person. I am 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 professionally. I understand the process involved regarding both my schooling and sport, and how important each of them is to getting into college. I am driven with help from my mentors, coaches, the love and support of my parents and family, as well as my own self belief, 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. I have gained the support of a representative agent, who is already seeking opportunities for me in the United States for college and long term career pathways commencing in 2027.
TRAINING ROUTINE
I train with my 4 teams 6 days a week - School First 5 team, Club team, Representative (regional) team and my AAU team.
In the off season I move to cross country running for my school, completing 20-25 kms a week (12-15 miles), as well as maintaining my Representative and AAU team training.
My ON season routine across all 4 teams currently consists of 5/6 days a week -
6am Gym (1.5 hours)
8am School
1pm Pool Recovery (30 minutes)
3pm Court Training (1.5 hours)
6pm Rep or AAU Team Training (2 hours)
I am currently focused on speed, plyometrics for agility and lower body stability, strength, and game IQ.
