Former All-ACC Guard Lorenzo Brown Signs a 2-Year Deal with Olimpia Milan

Former NC State All-ACC guard Lorenzo Brown has signed a two-year deal with Olimpia Milan (Italy) worth between $1.5 and $1.6 million. Prior to last season, Brown had signed a three-year deal with Panathinaikos in Greece. Since he was still under contract with Panathinaikos, Olimpia Milan is also buying out the remainder of that agreement.

Last season, Brown averaged 7.2 points, 3.3 assists, 2.0 rebounds, and 1.0 steal per game for Panathinaikos.

Olimpia Milan finished the 2024–25 regular season with an overall record of 20–10, which was good for 5th place in the Lega Basket Serie A. They lost to Virtus Bologna in the semifinals of the playoffs.

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.
