Malcolm Brown and Wanda Williams welcomed Brown into the world in New York City. His father, Malcolm, was a junior college center who stood 6-foot-7 inches (2.01 m) tall. There was little uproar when Brown, a 6-foot-8-inch (2.03 m) freshman, enrolled at Archbishop Molloy High School in Queens.
Over Kentucky, Maryland, and Florida State, Brown choose UCLA. In the 2018–19 recruiting class, which also included Shareef O’Neal, the son of Hall of Famer O’Neal, he was a five-star prospect and the top newcomer for the Bruins.
On January 26, 2019, Brown overcame a two-week slump with 11 pts, 15 rebounds, and two blocks in a 90-69 victory over Arizona. Due to an unspecified infraction of the school’s student-athlete code of conduct, he was suspended from the final regular-season game versus Utah.
Brown finished the season fourth in the Pac-12 Conference with 9.7 points, 8.3 rebounds, and 1.9 blocks per game. He garnered an honorable mention for the all-defensive team and was called to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team. He was announced for the NBA draft after the season.
