Kwame Brown Age, Height, Career Start, NBA Draft

Kwame Brown is an American former professional basketball player who spent 12 seasons in the National Basketball Association (NBA). Selected by the Washington Wizards in the 2001 NBA draft, Brown was the first No.1 overall pick to be chosen straight out of high school and the 16th player from high school to be drafted into the NBA.

Originally signing a letter of intent to play for the University of Florida, he later declared for the 2001 NBA draft. The Washington Wizards, under team president Michael Jordon, used their first overall pick on him. Following a pre-draft workout with the Wizards, it has been reported that Brown told then Wizards Coach Dough Collins, “If you draft me, you’ll never regret it”.

On August 5, 2005, Brown and Laron Profit were traded to the Lakers in exchange for Caron Butler and Chucky Atkins. The move was met with some controversy from fans who disliked Brown’s reputation as an under-achiever. At the beginning of the season, he averaged just above 6 points and 6 rebounds.

Brown played for Memphis Grizzlies, Detriot Pistons, Charlotte Bobcats, Golden State Warriors and Philadelphia 76 ers. On July 20, 2012, Brown signed a two-year contract for nearly $6 million with the Philadelphia 76ers. After sustaining a right hamstring strain in September 2013, Brown was waived by the 76ers on November 20 before appearing in a game for them in 2013-14 season.
