"D'Aundray in my estimation, is truly deserving of this. He has most definitely put in the time and effort that it takes to play at this level," Cleveland State head coach Gary Waters said. "This has always been a dream of his and he has the skills and talent to play in the NBA. I am very excited for him and his ability to reach this level."

Brown, who was a four-year starter at Cleveland State, led the Vikings to four postseason appearances during his career, including CSU's NCAA appearance in 2009.
