Back in 2022, Zo became a naturalized citizen of Spain, making him eligible to represent them in the Olympics.

Back in 2013, Brown was drafted in the 2nd round by the Minnesota Timberwolves, but was waived before the season began. As a result, the 76ers scooped up Brown. He went on to play 5 seasons in the NBA with Philly, Minnesota, Phoenix and Toronto, totaling 103 games.

In those years, Brown also played in the NBA D-League/G-League, being named a D-League All-Star in 2015 & 2016. In 2018, Zo was named 1st Team All G-League, and earned the G-League Most Valuable Player Award.

Zo has also had a successful international career, playing professionally in China, Serbia, Turkey, Russia, and Israel. His most recent stint for Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv (Israel) was his most successful, helping lead them to three titles, while earning All-Euroleague 2nd Team this past year, and 1st team the year before that.
