That would be your classic project pick. Years away, needs to learn how to use his size to dominate.

Not sure I'd have him over Sergachev either but he was going to be a dark horse of mine to go top 10 because of his size, skill, skating combo. Big centres don't last long on draft day.
I forget where I read it but some scout said that Brown reminds of Ryan Johansen at the same age. RyJo was a reach at the time, took some devleopment time but in retrospect was the prefect pick. Well until they gave up on him.
