He made the Patriot League All Defensive team for three years, and the All-Tournament MVP in 2018. Last term he maintained his production at 13.3 points and 5.2 assists a game for Giessen 46ers in the Bundesliga,<\/p>\n<p>Brown was happy to join up with the Lions\u2019 squad, \u201cI\u2019m excited to be here and grateful for the opportunity to be a part of a great organisation. From the coaching staff to the players. They all have been very welcoming and have done an excellent job of helping me get settled into the team in such a short time. I understand the importance of the upcoming games, so I\u2019m looking forward to them and will put forth my best efforts to help the team move forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lions\u2019 Head Coach, Vince Macaulay added, \u201cJules was a serious doubt, and having played in Denmark without three of our point guards we didn\u2019t want to risk anything in such a big game, Stephen was highly recommended to me, he is a very upstanding young man and his game is electric, unfortunately he is unlikely to play in BBL games as we can\u2019t rotate non-national players, but hopefully we progress and fans can get to see him in the flesh.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Lions\u2019 Qualifier against Neptunas Klaipeda is on the 22nd of September and should the Lions be victorious, the next game is on the 24th. There will be an announcement shortly as to where fans can watch the game live on broadcast, following discussions with the hosts and FIBA which continue.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The London Lions have reacted to injury by grabbing point guard, Stephen Brown at the deadline for Basketball Champions League registration<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":146,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_spbk_hide_featured":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[83,69],"tags":[14621,13837],"rumors":[],"typology":[20],"posizionamento":[],"class_list":["post-172764","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-basketball-champions-league","category-regno-unito","tag-london","tag-stephen-brown-en","typology-ufficiale"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 -
