Shannon Brown 

Post#1 » by Jase » Sun Apr 26, 2009 5:21 pm

Where did this guy come from? As of this point, he's been arguably the most pleasant surprise of the post season. It speaks volumes that Jackson trusts him so much in the post season. I was happy to see Morrison go to LA, I figured he could start over and be a factor. Clearly, that didn't happen, but Brown looks like the centerpiece of this deal now.

Awesome pickup.

I'm still waiting for him to unleash that first step soon. You know he's got it and he can wreak havoc if he gets into the lane with that speed and athleticism. It just seems like he's too shy or too reserved to show his game completely.

He has definitely been a surprise, but we all know most players tend to overachieve in their contract year. I personally wouldn't be shocked if his plays reverted back to his previous years next season.

Maybe it was his ego... There can be only one "brown" lol jk.

Yeah, he has mad hops and he's been awesome near the end of the season as well as the post season. Not sure if it's because it's his contract year or not.. but defensively and offensively he's been doing great. So great that i barely see farmar out there hehe.

I think he's more reserved because he wants to make sure everyone gets involved first and not trying to shoot at every chance he gets (eh hem sasha and farmar).

has he ever gotten a chance before? this is probably the first time that he gets to show what he can do, prove himself- now that he has gotten some minutes
