Bobby Brown

[pree]

The Bobcats have signed Bobby Brown. I don't know the details yet, but he's the PG from Cal State Fullerton. Pass-first, quick type of guard. He'll be a good third-stringer ..

My draft analysis will be published today after it gets fact-checked and such, with a better rundown of what the Cats will do from here on out.

Brown has a nice jump shot.

A good Q and A read with him as well found out some good things about him.

does this mean we didn't make a run on mustafa shakur?

[pree]

Shakur is rumored to have already been picked up by a team (word is Sacramento, but I can't verify it because its still too early in CA to get information on a Saturday!)

Thanks a lot Pree, after reading some of your stuff I am very glad to have you around man. Keep up the good work.

Definitely appreciate the Info Pree. Looks like a decent backup to me.

For those that know nothing, or very little about him(like me), here are his stats with game logs as well as his draft profile:

From nbadraft.net:


NBA Comparison: Kenny Anderson

Strengths: Point guard with a great feel for the position ... Makes those around him better ... Great vision and good timing on passes ... An excellent shooter, with good shot selection and range ... Makes good decisions and finds shots within the flow of the game, looking to get everyone involved and shooting when necessary ... Athletic guard with good explosiveness, he'll rise up and dunk on opponents when given the chance ... Almost too unselfish, teammates really enjoy having him on their team ... Very good at using tear drops in the lane over big men ... Ambidextrous, can use either hand on shots within 5-8 feet of the basket ... Plays under control with excellent body balance ... Good defender, who's effective in the full court press using his leaping ability to tip passes ... Good free throw shooter ...

Weaknesses: Playing in a smaller (Big West) Conference, the assumption is he is less talented because he wasn't recruited to a bigger Conference school. However, his high school had so many talented players that he got overshadowed and he also developed a lot in college ... The small conference also is a disadvantage as it's tougher for him to prove his abilities since his opponents aren't High Major players on most nights ... Can get a little down on himself if he struggles early, but competes hard ... A little on the small side, but his athleticism helps counteract that ...

Notes: Scouts called him the top PG on the West Coast after he outshined Jordan Farmar and Gabe Pruitt in the 2005 LA Summer League.

I'm just a reporter doing my job :)

Although, I do have a soft spot for teams that are building and trying to reverse their fortunes. I've covered the Warriors for too long, so I guess the Bobcats really aren't really that different.

Plus, writing about the Bobcats is a welcome change from the drama of the other team I cover - the Lakers. They make my head spin sometimes.

I wonder what Bob Johnson's response was when he was told we're signing Bobby Brown? :g:

Sounds pretty interesting. Which do you prefer - GS or the Lakers (non reporting as well as reporting wise)?

Also, do you plan on doing any more Bobcats reporting?

[pree]

I prefer the Warriors - no drama, fun to watch. But I did grow up in Los Angeles and watched Magic and that Showtime team as a kid, so I'm sort of a Laker fan, I guess. Although after I started reporting, the fan in me sort of died.

I'm hoping to do much more Bobcats work next season. I'm currently trying to get an interview with the panel of Friends of Jordan, but who knows if they'll respond favorably. Its tough because I won't be able to travel with the team because of my duties with the California teams, but I'll definitely do what I can. I'll be sure to post up anything Bobcatsy that I write :)

[dnbman]

Anymore details on us signing Brown?

I'm pretty intrigued by this kid.

[x2pacalypse]

we got a crack addict who beats his pop singer wife?

[WarioVsMooChicken]

We got a high school boy who had a sexual experience with a lesbian and became a homosexual who later got a job at a radio station and developed an interest in BDSM?

Sees if anyone picks up reference

[TheBeagle]

does this mean we didn't make a run on mustafa shakur?
Um, did you actually want us to? If this is the same guard from Arizona that I think it is, he should be packing his bags for Israel or Turkey, and preparing for those trapezoid lanes.

Bob probably thought "hmmm... this should be a cheap way to get some people in the stands"
