Juana Brown brings veteran poise, two-way edge for UNC
In the 2000-01 season, Juana Brown was a steady North Carolina backcourt engine: through six games she averaged 13.2 points, 3.7 assists and 3.3 rebounds while shooting 45.1% from the field, and UNC had already viewed her as one of its best defensive players[1]. She’s the kind of point guard who can score, distribute and defend without needing the spotlight, and her earlier production showed real shot-making range and big-game composure; she even returned from a sprained knee that cost her two games, which says a lot about her toughness and reliability[1][8].
