Former NC State basketball guard Lorenzo Brown hopes for a better result when Spain battles Greece next week.
Lorenzo Brown is only the third NC State basketball alum to compete in the Olympics, following Kenny Carr in 1976 and Tommy Burleson in 1972. Additionally, Brown is the first former Wolfpack player to represent a country other than the United States.
On Saturday morning, 33-year-old Lorenzo Brown made his debut at the 2024 Olympic Games in France. However, it wasn’t the start he had hoped for, as he and Spain were defeated by Australia, 92-80, in Group A action.

Brown, an NC State basketball standout from 2010-13 who started his professional career in the NBA but has spent the past six seasons overseas and gained Spanish citizenship two years ago, finished the game with seven points in 26 minutes. He shot 3-for-10 from the field, 0-for-4 from beyond the arc, and 1-for-2 from the free-throw line.
The 6-foot-5 starting point guard also contributed two rebounds and seven assists but recorded a game-high seven turnovers.
Spain now has a couple of days off before facing Greece at 5 a.m. ET on Tuesday. They will complete their Group Phase slate against Canada at 11:15 a.m. on Friday.
