Re: Is Denham Brown this man?
i think denham will be a fine pro. in fact, i almost feel he would've been a fine pro had he been playing in the nba last season and not the big east. i'm not going to make the argument that he'll be a star, because he almost certainly won't, but he's basically assured himself of a draft selection in the second round- and i don't think many teams should necessarily be looking to draft a "star" in the second round. i think players like denham brown, at least in my world, are very valuable: they're proven role players already, and "you know what you're going to get", etc. yeah, gilbert arenas might come around every 20 years, but most second round contributors are of the matt bonner type, if you will. on that scale, i don't see why we'd be looking past players like denham (and several others this year). they will almost certainly bring second round value next week- sure, the reward isn't exactly magnificent, but the risk (imo) is still minimal.
if we want to draft a diamond in the rough, i'd prefer we do it with the 56. i'd rather have the 35 bring us someone of the denham brown variety. we need more depth, i think, and he's also a depth enabler (imo).
peace
