Troy Brown to Oregon: Ducks Land 5-Star SF Prospect

One of the nation's top small forwards is headed to the Oregon Ducks.

Five-star recruit Troy Brown announced his intention to join the Ducks in a Bleacher Report commitment video Monday:

He chose Oregon over the Kansas Jayhawks, Ohio State Buckeyes, Alabama Crimson Tide and Georgetown Hoyas, per Jeff Borzello of ESPN.com.

Brown, who stars at Centennial High School in Las Vegas, is the nation's No. 11-ranked recruit and the No. 3-ranked player at his position in the 2017 class, per Scout.

Only Washington commit Michael Porter and Kevin Knox are ranked higher.

Brown commented on his decision Monday, per Borzello: "It's a great organization, would love to play with Coach [Dana] Altman as my head coach. The style of play fits me very well for my versatility. I'm comfortable with the players that will be there."

Brown has a bit of Golden State Warriors swingman Andre Iguodala in his game—capable of switching between positions while flashing a heady style. He can create shots for himself and others off the dribble and stretch out to the three-point line on occasion, and he is a good finisher at the rim.

One of the nation's top recruits, Brown has had college coaches hounding him since he became contact-eligible.

Brown, for his part, has been a little uncomfortable with the attention, as he told David Schoen of the Las Vegas Review-Journal:

"

It's one of those things that you'd rather have than not have, but it's way more stressful than people think it is, honestly. It's been a fun ride, that's one thing I'll give it. I got the full experience of it, and I thank God for that, that I've seen every piece of it, so I know the ups and downs. Certain stuff doesn't bother me anymore, and I can just go play basketball.

"

While some bask in the limelight, Brown is likely thankful to be done with the process. He has a chance to be a one-and-done candidate given his versatile skill set and athleticism. NBA coaches may be able to throw him out at the 2 or 3 without much trouble—even if, at 6'6", he's shorter than they would prefer for a standard small forward.

His commitment continues a trend for Altman, who has the eighth-best 2017 class in the country, per Scout, and Brown's decision might have a trickle-down effect that convinces another young star to make the leap to Oregon.

At the least, it's a coup that should shape Oregon's 2017 class.
