Vittorio Joseph Brown (born July 13, 1995) is an American professional basketball player for San-en NeoPhoenix of the Japanese B.League. He played college basketball for the Wisconsin Badgers.

Early life

[edit]

Brown is the son of Sheila and Angelo Brown and grew up in Bowling Green, Ohio. At an early age he developed a passion for singing and performed at weddings and church services. He attended Bowling Green High School where he turned into a highly recruited player despite rarely shooting as a freshman and sophomore.[1]

College career

[edit]

In his first two seasons at Wisconsin, Brown seldom played. According to coach Greg Gard, he generally entered a game to allow Frank Kaminsky time to grab some water. Early in his junior year, he began displaying flashes of his scoring ability, contributing 16 points in a win against Siena. Brown increased his scoring average to 9.7 points per game as a junior while averaging 5.1 rebounds per game and shooting 40.5% from three-point range.[2] As a senior, Brown averaged 6.8 points and 3.9 rebounds per game for Wisconsin's 2017 Sweet 16 team. He was the school's Outstanding Sportsmanship Award winner and was a two-time Academic All-Big Ten honoree. Over the course of his Wisconsin career, Brown helped the team to 115 wins, equaling the highest four-year win total in school history.[3] He was a nominee for the Allstate Good Works Team in honor of his volunteerism and civic involvement.[4]
