Because he hasn't played a minute in the NCAA, I don't know if you noticed, any HS Superstar has seen the hype going downhill after the NCAA freshman year. Started GOAT and arrived great player in the best case scenario, in some cases you have seen them going from GOAT contender to "scrubs not worth to be drafted". If you look at the physical specimen Brown is one of a kind like LeBron, as far as abilities LeBron is not Michael Jordan and his style of play had an high benefit from being officiated the way it was(that was very similar the way Brown was officiated in the SL). Now if Brown receives the rookie treatment he is going to struggle on offense if he receives the "LeBron rookie treatment" he is going to score a ton, even tho he has a raw shooting like LeBron had. You can't compare the talent until you see him play for 3-4 years. Telling that he would not score in the NBA is idiotic.
