    Brown - 23 pts, 9 AST? Almost a double-double. If not for playing with mostly brickers he likely would have had it.
    Sure, he was a little self-centered in his last audition. He's trying to make the team
    But he can flat out run circles around Ennis and Payton in making plays and scoring when needed.
    I'm NOT President of the B Brown Fan Club and I'm only talking players on the bubble here.
    I'd take him over the other 2 for sure

    I am with you on keeping Brown. He showed that he is a better player than Ennis and Payton.

    Brown at least looked like an NBA player and played with confidence. GP2 isn't ready and Ennis didn't do anything to supplant Prigs.

    I really hope Brown makes the roster. Could be a 6th man type role especially with Bev out indefinitely which could impact Gordon's role.

    Haven't payed much attention to Brown before. But THIS game got me thinking that
    him at PG and Gordon at SG could be a good combo with the second unit

    Brown is the definition of a selfish player. Don't want him anywhere near the team.

    Brown is a no for me. I'd for sure cut him cause he plays selfish.

    I'm not a fan of Brown either, but obviously he played better than those 2 guys.. He has the experience that they lack and I can't stand Ennis.
    Sure he had 9ast, but for the major part he was just trying to take all the shots I feel. But then again he's trying to make the team. I laughed when Wiljer was waiting on him to pass the ball for a shot after a hand off.

    He's just trying to make the team, he will change once he has secured his spot. We really need another guy who can put the ball on the floor and an aggressive bench scorer never hurts.

    Brown stays, Ennis and other to the DLeague.

    I think it could have been a much better game if we hit shots, but it wasnt our night and we played against the Spurs first team for like three quarters.

    I am just not a fan of Daniels. I like Brewer more as he has experience. At the end of the day we are better without both. Package them two and get someone else who can shoot and is decent on defense at their position

    A little disappointed none of the end of rotation players really broke out this game. Better hope Nene and Gordon arent out for extended periods of time..

    Speaking of Nene, watching and seeing how good his feel for the game is makes me wonder how he wasn't putting up borderline all-star numbers when he was younger

    With Bev likely missing a fairly significant amount of time Brown And Ennis might make it.

    Brown has such a weird looking shot too. It's so slow

    One very concerning take from this game is that outside of Harden, Nene & Gordon who can get their own shot and or pass it, we have not much going for us. Our offense looked pretty bad and defensively we are still like last year. Brewer is not an NBA player, he cannot finish layups, hit threes or finish the fast break anymore. Also, how come he still fouls 3pt shooters? Wiltjer had a bad game and with Beverley out, I rather keep another guard.

    Because he was splitting time with another good PF in Denver, forgot his name. Also he had testicular cancer before, and played with Me-Lo who also loved scoring in the post and thus made scoring harder for him. What it does make me think of though is how good that front court of Pau and Nene would've been. I think we still kept Lowry if the trade wasn't vetoed which should've resulted in us getting Harden to pair with those guys.

    I just want Wiltjer on the roster, all these other guys are meh and replaceable, it's too early to tell who among GP2, Ennis and Brown are gonna grow up into someone good.
