Take it how you want I wouldn't be mad.

I am starting to think that this is our guy
Posted on 6/17/16 at 11:36 am to 504ByrdGang
He's a real smart kid so that will obviously play a role into his development as an NBA player. If we took him I wouldn't be mad, but taking a 4 year guy like Dunn or Hield helps the team immediately.

He's my "sleeper pick."

I'm cool with getting jaylen. Guy has serious potential and was lights out in the McDonald's game

Yeah he was great in the game. He just sucked in most college games that actually mattered.
He's all potential. He's a project.

Have no issues with this.

I hope we take him if Dunn and Bender are off the board.

Apparently, he was described as "arrogant" after interviews during the combine. But wgas if he can develop. Honest to God, at this point I just want the draft to get here and see what happens.

The challenge for Brown as a freshman was parlaying those tools into consistent on-court production. Asked to fill a substantial role in Cal's space-starved offense, Brown did most of his damage playing off the ball spotting up or filling lanes in transition, but was also granted significant opportunities to create for himself off the bounce in the half court. Given considerable freedom, the freshman scored just .853 points per possession over 17.2 possessions per game to rank 149th in scoring efficiency among the 173 players using over 17 opportunities per game according to Synergy Sports Technology.
quote:
Shooting 48% inside the arc, 29% from three, and 65% from the line for the Golden Bears, Brown didn't have the easiest time translating his game to the college ranks. With 51% of his shot attempts in the half court coming from the perimeter, the mechanical issues with Brown's jump shot became clear. Timing his release differently shot-to-shot whether he's pulling up off the bounce under pressure or shooting catch and shoot jumpers in space, Brown's mechanics are not particularly reliable at this stage. He casually fades away on some attempts unnecessarily, sometimes holding the ball longer than others at the top of his shot. His combination of mechanical issues resulted in the unimpressive 31% he shot from the perimeter overall.
quote:
As a slasher, Brown battled through bouts of inefficiency as well. Possessing a strong first step and impressive leaping ability off of one and two feet, Brown's fairly loose handle, lack of craftiness around the basket, and tendency to get tunnel vision and force shots into traffic led to his 45% shooting around the rim in the half court and top-100 leading per-40 minute pace adjusted turnover rate. While Cal's insistence on surrounding him with two to four non-shooters at all times didn't do him any favors, there's no doubt that his feel for the game is underdeveloped at this stage in his career, as evidenced by his poor -6.48 PPR, which is by far the worst passing metric among any non-big man in this draft.
quote:
Largely the same things about Brown's offense can be said about him defensively. He has all the tools to be successful and potentially even defend multiple positions down the road, but struggled at times with his focus off the ball and discipline defending one-on-one. He had some flashes using his strength and lateral quickness to apply ball pressure impressively around the arc and make his presence felt in the passing lanes, and is a strong rebounder, but has plenty of things to clean up on this end as well.

If Brown is the pick I will vomit. Dude has a Looooooooooong way to go. Dude scares the hell out of me. He is more raw then Bender.
This is coming from someone who watch alot of his games. Dude is super raw and may take 3 years just to be decent.

If Brown had at least shown some defensive ability at the college level then I'd be okay with the pick but we didn't see it.

I have read this criticism a bunch. Some articles tried to frame the criticism as racism but I think thats a bit ridiculous and specious.
He was known for questioning coaches and being a bit defiant. Which seems to have carried over into the combine. Intelligence is a great but it also can lead to overconfidence in your opinions, hardheadedness and an unwillingness to admit wrong doing. That could really slow or stagnate his development IMO.
For an already tepid locker room from a leadership perspective, Brown does not excite me in that regard. In fact worries me. He seems like a player that would thrive better in a place like Boston where there is clearly defined leaders and a strong coach.

So a prototypical build SF, that can score, just not efficiently, and has a bit of an attitude problem and probably thinks he's a lot better than he is? Sounds kind of like Josh Smith, who Ferry got rid of to rebuild the Hawks into a good defending ball movement team similar to what the Pels are hoping to become.
Assuming Demps will actually listen to Ferry and isn't just giving him busy work to fulfill Loomis' advisor requirement, I'm pretty confident the team will make good moves this offseason instead of assuming the worst. Ferry literally did what we are trying to do just a few years ago, transition from an ISO heavy outdated roster to a modern one.

Brown is the player I want the least and the player I expected Pels fans to irrationally fall in love with.
We have been so starved for a SF for so long, and he is protypical build and athleticism for the position.
The problem is he just isn't that good.

I find it incredibly suspicious that the Pels are letting people know that Brown crushed his workout. They are usually tight-lipped and they let everyone know this?
Cui bono?
