John Brown III

It's take two in the NBL for the experienced power forward who has had an outstanding career in the EuroLeague since playing at High Point University.

The 33-year-old, 6'8 power forward was earmarked as a mid-season replacement at the Perth Wildcats back in NBL22 but now joins the Phoenix for NBL26.

Had a standout college career with High Point including being a two-time Big South Player of the Year, 2016 Defensive Player of the Year and a four-time All-First Team member.

Has spent most of his professional career in Europe since playing in Italy, Russia, France and Serbia where he most recently won a championship in 2025 with Crvena Zvezda.

Also won back-to-back French championships with AS Monaco Basket while named Best Defensive Player in 2024 and was the EuroLeague steals leader back in 2022 as he brings that toughness, physically and defence to the NBL.
