Kwame Brown Net Worth & Career

Earlier, Brown showed interest to play basketball for the University of Florida. However, later he was picked up for the 2001 NBA draft by The Washington Wizards. Though he was quite confident in his game, he failed miserably to show his best game for the team. He didn’t perform well during the rookie season. In fact, Brown just had an average point of 4.5 and 3.5 rebounds in each game.

Although Brown was not giving his best shot he was fortunate to get selected for the second season. He played a total of 20 games out of 80, where he showed some improvement in his game. His performance improved more in the third season receiving career-high points of 10.9 and rebounds of 7.4.

Though, the team showed some hesitation to sign a new contract with him on July 1, 2008, and included him in the team as an unrestricted free agent.

After that, he joined Detroit Pistons on July 28, 2008, for a two-year contract deal. On August 23, 2010, he was signed to a new team, Charlotte Bobcats for a year. At the end of the contract, he got a sign to Golden State Warriors for a year. In 2012, he was traded to the new team, Milwaukee Bucks. However, he never played a single game for the team.

He was picked up on the BIG3 basketball league as a 5th overall pick on April 30, 2017. In the league, he played for the team, 3 Headed Monsters.
