Former Duke Blue Devil Maliq Brown heard his name called at the 2026 NBA Draft Wednesday night, being selected No. 44 overall by the San Antonio Spurs. Although Brown wasn't originally considered a strong draft prospect, the four-year college forward proved himself worthy of an NBA opportunity throughout the pre-draft process.
Now entering the NBA as a second-round pick, Brown has a lot of work ahead of him to make his mark in the NBA. That said, the Culpepper, Virginia native is no stranger to getting his hands dirty, having an ACC Defensive Player of the Year Award and two ACC All-Defensive selections to his name. Looking ahead to his time with the Spurs, Brown will have to rely on his 6'8" frame, 7'0" wingspan and defensive versatility to earn minutes in his rookie season.
