What do you guys think? Does that seem true?

Hard to tell, since EVERYONE on the team "has trouble finishing in contested situations under the basket"...  It looks like they all attended the Jarrett Mann Academy over the summer.

Having had two knee surgeries, my sense is that Brown's knee is weak.  He's had three surgeries so he's going to be a little less explosive and a little more protective of that knee.  If it were to be injured a 4th time, he would probably need to hang em up.  It's never going to be 100%. 

I like Brown and the intensity and physicality he brings to the court amidst a team of players that takes the lead of their "coach" and generally shows little emotion.  He doesn't back down and shows strong leadership and court awareness.  I feel for him along with Huestis, Powell and Randall as I think they are underachieving due to Dawkin's X O skills.    For me, it's make the tourney (NOT the NIT) or time for a change.  Monty has made it three times in the last five years.  Dawkins...

I haven't watched many games this year, but I did attend the UCLA game. There was one instance in particular where Brown took the ball to the rim, either on a fast break or slash in the lane, and had a layup that he barely got off in time before the defender swatted it away. Brown looked like he had a piano on his back when he "lifted" off the floor. I never saw Andy play before the knee injuries, but I can only imagine how bad his knees are now. There is little to no explosiveness left.
