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?

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!)

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.
