Michigan’s Chaundee Brown and DeVante’ Jones teamed up with big plays down the stretch to lead their squad to an upset win over Hunter Dickinson, Mike Smith and their team in an NBA G-League Elite Combine game Sunday.

Both seemed perplexed when told they weren’t expected to win.

“That’s great,” Brown said after raising his eyebrows and shrugging a bit.

“We love being the underdogs, and we showed them why,” Jones said.

“Most definitely!” Brown added.

Both were in great moods after Brown scored 12 points and played an all-around great game and Jones led the team in scoring with 15, including a number of big plays down the stretch. Though he looks more two-guard than point guard, Jones bullied his way to the rim and used an array of floaters and short jumpers to lead his team to victory.

Both he and Brown brought the effort defensively, too, and were the biggest reason for the win.

“We both came in off the bench, brought a lot of energy starting on the defensive end,” Brown said. “DeVante’ got a couple steals down the stretch, got a couple fouls and buckets in the lane. He just brought a bunch of energy.”

He and Smith went head-to-head down the stretch and traded some friendly words. Though Jones got the better of the match-up, Smith made some great passes and hit a triple, as well.

“I thought he played really well,” Smith said of Jones. “He’s going to be a really good player for Michigan next year if he decides to come back. He controlled the game, played really good defense, made some tough shots at the end and made some free throws.

“He’s going to be a really good piece. Coach Howard [and his staff] always does a really good job recruiting. They got me there, too. He’s a great fit and is going to be a great Michigan guard, for sure.”

That assumes he’s on campus, of course. Jones’ first priority at the camp is to secure an NBA Combine spot, and he took a step toward that Sunday.
