TP for the dirty diapers, lol . It would be pretty crappy to trade Brown now, though, wouldn't it? I just find the timing to be odd, to say the least. Did he not have more value before the summer league, lol , and for whom would he be traded, anyway, at this point, now that Wade and Rondo have gone to Chicago. Griffin? Cousins?
Why is that? If anything, I think he started showing that he was at least worthy of that 3rd pick, especially his play towards the end of summer league.
Well, in general, wouldn't a draft pick, especially one in the top 3, be valued higher before he hit the court where he can show his warts, etc.? Maybe it's like opening some sort of collectible that is valued so high
because it hadn't been taken out of the packaging? I'm not sure, but I think that that's the gist of the argument that has been outlined before on here. Perhaps it's like wanting to trade the Brooklyn pick at the deadline because of what it
could be, as opposed to holding onto it and being at the mercy of the lottery?
Anyway, Brown had two nice fadeaway jumpers and a few great spin moves, but I don't think that he showed that he was
at least worthy of being taken third. He did play better in the final, what, two games, or was it three? Either way, I'm trying to like him, and I absolutely want him to be a success, but I'm not there, yet. He didn't hit a field goal in the first half of either of his first two games, failed to make a basket, at all, in the third, his jumper was slightly better than advertised, I guess, he had great difficulty in finishing around the basket, and his decision making, especially when he quite often opted to dribble, with his head down
*facepalm*, into 2-3 guys and either invariably fall over or just flat out lose the ball altogether, was hardly impressive to me, sorry
.
