"Kwame Brown: Wasn’t officially supposed to be here, but surprisingly decided to drive down from his home about three hours away for a private workout with the Wizards on Saturday. I got to watch most of it, and I think there is still a lot to be excited about this kid. He’s got a great body of course, it looks like he has put on some weight and he was really throwing it around during the workout. His outside shot is very nice for a big man, so is his handle and he looked pretty serious while working up quite a sweat. Needless to say he is still a freak athlete."
Kwame +outside jumpshot= All-Star

I've been hearing from some people in the know that have said Kwame's really done a good job working out. That he has taken a real serious attitude about working hard.
I think he finally gets it. It took Tmac 3 years to really get it I think Kwame is gonna be the same way.
I think in previous years he really resented working out and following the Wizards program because MJ made his experience so terrible those 1st couple of years.
I think having some success last season that he realizes that he can be as good as he thought when he came into the league. He has confidence now.
This is a contract year also.
Kwame had a really consistent jumper MJ's second year here. They had Kwame working on the pick and pop out jumpshot. He got really good at it. It was automatic at one point. Last season though it was gone, he would throw up some really bad rushed outside shots. Some airballs and some bricks. His lowpost game took off but his outside game faltered. If he puts that jumper together with the rest he could be an allstar easy.
If kwame fulfills his promise as a player the Wizards could be a huge factor in the east.
Wizards lost their summer league game tonight. Jeffries made a couple nice plays judging by the highlights. Wizards lost to Phoenix.
Good update Shanghai.
