Scouting Report:
A
lightning quick guard who uses his foot speed on both ends of the
court. Can be an explosive, yet streaky, scorer.
Strengths:
Quickness
usually is the quickest player on the floor. Explosive scorer can go
off for 30 plus points. Good coming off of and using screens. Also
racks up a lot of assists, boards (for his size) and steals.
Experienced averaged 30 plus minutes all four years at Illinois.
Speed allows him to play great defense.
Weaknesses:
Shot selection can take questionable shots at times. Isnt a pure
point guard more of a combo guard. Shoots for a very low percentage
from the field and from behind the arc. Very small doesnt have NBA
guard size.
Projected 2006 Draft
Range:
Late first round early second round.
Consensus:
The speed demon
Brown seems to have helped his draft stock returning to Illinois for his
senior year. His size, questionable shot selection and point guard
skills will hurt his draft position. However, with his speed and
scoring ability he will more than likely find himself on an NBA roster
in the fall.
