Brownlee is averaging 13.5 points per game on 51.6 percent shooting. And he’s doing more than just scoring. The swingman's also pulling down 6.3 rebounds, handing out 2.6 assists and getting 1.5 steals.

All of that, and he’s only turning it over 1.1 times in 29 minutes per game.

At 6-foot-7 and 219 pounds, Brownlee has strong court vision for his size, and has shown he can score in bunches when necessary. He put up 35 points in the D-League Showcase in Reno, Nevada recently, drawing attention from several scouts and team executives in attendance.

Sigh

Yah, he always reminded me of a destitute man's Shawn Marion. He had three-point rage in college, especially at the top key. He's not a super freak athletically, but he has a good bounce in his step when he's healthy. He's healthy. so that already makes him a better option than Metta at this point.

I agree. He'd be better than Metta at this point. We need young guys to eat role player minutes. Relying on KMart, Metta, and Amare will not work. I think Brownlee would be a very good NBA bench player.

Don't agree just from the standpoint of Knicks probably getting matched up with Indy/Miami in round 1 (if they can climb back in - I think they will).

His D, while not the same as it once was, will be valuable against LeBron or West/George if Woodson can figure him into one of his many magical rotations.

Yeah his D is still good but he's a major offensive liability. He was bricking them all over the place before he got injured, taking bad, contested shots too.
