New Mexico’s best player this season has been Elijah Brown, the son of former NBA coach Mike Brown. He entered Tuesday’s game as the Lobos’ leading scorer.
Brown has something of a Tucson connection, and it loosely involves Bill Walton.
How?
Walton’s son, Luke, is an Arizona alum who played for Brown when he coached the Los Angeles Lakers in 2011-12. Arizona’s Jordan Hill also played for the Lakers during that season.
