RALEIGH - NC State junior point guard Lorenzo Brown has been selected as one of 20 finalists for the 2013 Cousy Collegiate Point Guard of the Year Award.
Brown's 6.7 assists per game lead the ACC and he is second in the conference in steals with 2.2 per game. His assist per game average is the highest since Chris Corchiani averaged 9.6 per game in 1990-91. Brown is the Wolfpack's second leading scorer at 13.1 points per contest (18th, ACC) and averages a team-best 33.4 points per game.
