I think his most underrated quality is probably the one that is most mentioned as his strength, his physical ability and size. I think he is built like a superstar that is just raw and most of those guys turn into superstars. Why I've always liked him when other players were getting rated higher. Most stuff has been mentioned but he has a good feel for the game and plays smart. I think his feel for the game is excellent. He's just raw. He'll also be a good shooter the more he works at it.
I don't konw how to explain that some players get hyped for their physical ability and end up being duds in the nba where I don't really buy it. Brown is not that. There are players this draft that probably are that.
Brown is a good basketball player and is just raw. It's that head on his shoulders to go with it.
He's also very versatile and can play offense and defense and multiple positions. He could even play pg if he wanted to as he develops. He has length but also has the quickness and vision to handle the ball.
I think that's his most underrated quality as well is there is not much he can't do. What is his weakness besides he's just raw? Obviously shootinig but that will come.

I agree. He is very powerful - when you combine that with his speed, it gives him a very high ceiling. He has a near-perfect NBA body (IMO as close to Lebron-level as anyone in the league).
I thought it was weird that so many people hated the pick, and were then subsequently surprised by his handle, strength, and slashing ability. Those were clearly exceptional strengths, and are likely to translate.
The question is whether his court vision and jump shooting improve enough to reach his potential. Thankfully, that stuff often develops later on. You can teach shooting and ball movement - you can't teach size, athleticism, and strength.
And that's why he's such an exciting prospect, his flaws are all fixable.
