I mean, what skill did Brewer develop that he didn't have at Florida? The man just ran around like a free safety for 15 years and never developed a handle or reliable jumper.

Free safety for 15 years, that's good! Brewer was highly touted out of Florida and did not develop into the player or the body that one might of hoped from a top 10 pick. Disregarding his playing achievements, lets see what he's capable of doing for others. The best coaches and teachers in the league were not necessarily top level players.

Logged in to say the exact same thing. If he never developed himself why would he be good at developing others. Dude never even learned how to play team defense. Maybe he's the big brother keep the young guys out of trouble guy.

Only thing he’s really ever done significantly in the league was help my favorite team Dallas rally for the comeback win in game 1 against the Lakers in the second round of the memorable 2011 title run. That being said will he always be on the list of players to win both a NCAA National Championship & NBA Championship.
