Didn't say it was fact, but typically if a player doesn't get on the court in a blowout like that and you're the only one it's because the coaches don't believe you're doing the work required.
Not suggesting that is it. But there is something there. It's not defense. Players are continually getting blown by game after game and it does not affect their playing time. It's not his offense, he is a great fit in this offense particularly with Domas. So what is it?
Some people, and the COY agrees, he isn't good.
That's not to say Brown gets the rotation right all the time (Len, lol), but some people think he's an inconsistent mostly one dimensional three pt shooter who doesn't move well or impact the game.
The fact that he didn't come off the game in a blow out is mildly eye raising, maybe there is a bit of an issue growing between him and Brown.
But his minutes decline coincided with him being a letdown on the court for me.
Yet he hasn't been a let down on the court. He is shooting just under 36% from 3. Yep, not good enough, but again, what is his role on the team? He has shown how crafty he is on both ends of the floor which no one else on this team has. It's extremely difficult to come into a new environment and be a star with inconsistent minutes and role.
The only thing you mentioned that is true is he is slow footed. And guess what, so are all of the guys his height or over on this squad barring Kesler.
Brown's rotations for anyone off the bench barring Monk and Lyles are poor. Yet Monk and Lyles are the ones getting blown by consistently on the court. Barnes consistently gets blown by. In fact every single player that is getting consistent minutes minus Fox and maybe Keegan, gets blown by far too much.
