He was supposed to join the 2021 Draft, but was listed as ineligible after failing to submit necessary requirements for applicants considered as Fil-foreigners.

Born in San Antonio, Texas, to an American father and a Filipina who hails from Pangasinan, Brickman is one of only four players in US NCAA history to dish out 1,000 career assists during his time with LIU Brooklyn from 2010 to 2014.
