In his final year, he took part in 31 games for the Longhorns and lead the team in scoring with a 17.0 points per game average. This earned him the 1986 Southwest Conference Player of the Year.[2] Brownlee was selected in the fourth round (78th pick overall) of the 1986 NBA Draft by the Los Angeles Clippers.[3] During rookie-free agent camp, Brownlee suffered an injury when he dislocated his little finger during scrimmage.[4] He never got his chance to play in the NBA.
