We can't expect Brewer to be our starter right away. That doesn't always work that way with the rookies in the first part of regular season. He will have a long way to learn how to be useful in the offensive end which includes shooting the ball.

The case with McCants, it didn't work very well. I hope that the change of momentum will do him good for the regular season. I still don't give up hopes on him yet. Maybe for one more year.

Back to Brewer. Defensively, he did us wonders. However, how does it prove us that he will be that effective in the NBA. NBA and SL is not exactly the same. What SL is lacking is the experiences and All-Star players, so that are not really equivalent to the NBA. The SL Wolves are playing much smaller opponents like San Antonio, that is probably why we might be not getting the right ideas of what Brewer can actually do for us.

Hassell is a very good at perimeter defense but he disappears most of times in the offensive end. I mean, he don't take a lot of attempts, hence his ppg is considerably too low for a starting shooting guard/small forward. I think for now, we will pencil in Hassell as our starter, he knows what to do and he knows the playbook.

IMO, it's too early to say whether Brewer is an upgrade to Hassell. He has yet proved to us that he'll be Trenton Hassell's successor.
