He competed for Simeon Career Academy in his hometown of Chicago, where he was a three-star recruit and one of the top high school players in Illinois from his freshman year. Despite being sidelined and hospitalized with mental health issues in multiple seasons at Simeon, he continued drawing interest from Chicago State, eventually committing to play for them at the NCAA Division I level. However, Brown later dropped his college plans, instead turning professional with the Chicago Ballers in the Junior Basketball Association. High school careerIn the 2014–15 season, Brown became the first freshman to play for Simeon Career Academy under head coach Robert Smith other than Jabari Parker.[1] Before the season, Simeon was ranked 13th in the nation by basketball website MaxPreps, and Smith praised Brown: "He's a true point guard and does the dirty work. He can score but is also great at getting guys open."[2] As a freshman, Brown helped the team finish with a 27–3 record and earn a second-place finish at the Chicago Public League Tournament in 2015.[3] He was considered one of the top freshman in the country, drawing attention from various colleges, mainly Nebraska and DePaul.[4] He also received interest from top programs like Duke and Kentucky.[5] Despite his early success, Brown was sidelined for much of his sophomore season due to a mental health issue, which was undisclosed at the time, playing under 30 total minutes in the season and seeing dwindling interest from colleges.[4][6] However, he began playing again in the following spring, starring on the Mac Irvin Fire Amateur Athletic Union (AAU) team.[4][7] In his junior year, Brown assumed a leading role for Simeon, scoring 26 points in a city title game win over Morgan Park High School.[8] In May 2017, he suffered an ankle injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season.[6] In the summer, he committed to play college basketball at Chicago State, being considered one of the program's best recruits ever.[9] In October 2017, it was announced that Brown was in a psychiatric hospital.[6] As a result, he was sidelined for his entire senior season at Simeon. However, he was still expected to graduate high school.[10] Professional careerChicago Ballers (2018)In May 2018, Brown announced plans to join the Chicago Ballers of the Junior Basketball Association (JBA), a newly-formed alternative professional league to college basketball created by LaVar Ball.[10] He was encouraged to make the decision after Tracy Dildy, who was fired by Chicago State after Brown committed, became head coach of the Ballers.[10] However, Dildy was later replaced as head coach of the Chicago Ballers by former Chicago State assistant Eddie Denard. Brown signed a two-year, non-guaranteed contract in June.[10][11] His father Marquis Brown, Sr. said, "It has been a big whirlwind. I think God has to put you through situations. Not everyone got this opportunity. We can name at least 10 players that would be happy to be in this situation."[10] Brown recorded a career-high 46 points in a 125–117 overtime win over the Houston Ballers. ABAOn September 9, 2018, Brown reportedly signed with the Illinois Bulldogs of the American Basketball Association (ABA), a semi-professional league in the United States.[12] ChinaAs of October 30, 2018, Brown has reportedly left the ABA and is now playing a form outdoor underground street basketball in China, known as Wildball.[13] Personal lifeBrown's favorite basketball player is Kobe Bryant, and his favorite team is the Los Angeles Lakers.[14] References1. ^{{cite web |last1=Breen |first1=Justin |title=Simeon Freshman Kezo Brown Joins Jabari Parker in Elite Company |url=https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20141210/chatham/simeon-freshman-kezo-brown-joins-jabari-parker-elite-company/ |publisher=DNAinfo |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=December 10, 2014}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Brown, Kezo}}2. ^{{cite web |last1=Hickman |first1=Jason |title=MaxPreps 2014-15 Preseason Top 25 high school boys basketball rankings |url=http://www.maxpreps.com/news/article.aspx?articleid=f3bc504f-85cf-4237-aab1-c4bc737d87ee&page=14 |publisher=MaxPreps |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=November 4, 2014}} 3. ^{{cite web |title=Marquis Brown |url=https://www.usab.com/basketball/players/mens/b/brown-marquis-1.aspx |publisher=USA Basketball |accessdate=June 12, 2018}} 4. ^1 2 {{cite web |last1=O'Brien |first1=Michael |title=The return of Kezo Brown|url=https://www.suntimeshighschoolsports.com/2016/05/14/obrien-the-return-of-kezo-brown/ |website=Chicago Sun-Times |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=May 14, 2016}} 5. ^{{cite web |last1=Kendall |first1=Jordan |title=Kezo Brown Prepping For Chicago State |url=https://whistle2whistlesports.com/2017/12/15/kezo-brown-prepping-for-chicago-state/ |publisher=Whistle 2 Whistle Sports |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=December 15, 2017}} 6. ^1 2 {{cite web |last1=O'Brien |first1=Michael |title=Simeon’s Kezo Brown hospitalized, may miss senior season |url=https://www.suntimeshighschoolsports.com/2017/10/04/obrien-simeons-kezo-brown-hospitalized-may-miss-senior-season/ |website=Chicago Sun-Times |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=October 4, 2017}} 7. ^{{cite web |last1=Smith |first1=Bryce |title=Recruit Spotlight: Marquis "Kezo" Brown |url=https://www.thechampaignroom.com/2014/11/17/7212699/illinois-basketball-recruiting-marquis-kezo-brown-interview-simeon-dj-williams-john-groce |publisher=The Champaign Room |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=November 17, 2014}} 8. ^{{cite web |last1=O'Brien |first1=Michael |title=Kezo Brown sparks Simeon to city title |url=https://www.suntimeshighschoolsports.com/2017/02/19/kezo-brown-sparks-simeon-city-title/ |website=Chicago Sun-Times |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=February 19, 2017}} 9. ^{{cite web |last1=Mitchell |first1=Greg |title=Chicago State may have gotten its best recruit ever |url=https://www.midmajormadness.com/2017/7/14/15974934/chicago-state-may-have-gotten-its-best-recruit-ever-kezo-brown-cougars-wac-recruit-2018-simeon-cps |publisher=Mid Major Madness |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=July 14, 2017}} 10. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite web |last1=O'Brien |first1=Michael |title=Kezo Brown is going pro, will play in LaVar Ball’s JBA |url=https://www.suntimeshighschoolsports.com/2018/05/19/kezo-brown-going-pro-will-play-lavar-balls-jba/|website=Chicago Sun-Times |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=May 19, 2018}} 11. ^{{cite web |last1=O'Brien |first1=Michael|title=Michael O'Brien on Twitter|url=https://twitter.com/michaelsobrien/status/1006547704036708352 |publisher=Twitter |accessdate=June 12, 2018 |date=June 12, 2018}} 12. ^{{cite tweet|user=NicolaLupo99|number=1038901315706019841|date=September 9, 2018|title=Former JBA player Kezo Brown has signed a deal with the Illinois Bulldogs of the ABA - a semi-pro American league - the team owner announced.
