If anything his play got better because he put up the same numbers he did last year with Deron Williams this year with no other guards help, Right?

And for all the people who say he went back to school because his stock wasnt high enough are wrong he broke his wrist in the rookie camp, but it fully recovered by the beginning of the NCAA Season so that is not a reason his stock fell.

I believe Dee Brown was picked in the second round because of that very reason you state. Dee Brown put up the same numbers when Deron Williams wasn't there. Given the larger role, Brown should have greatly increased in all aspects, but as we can see his numbers only slightly increased and showed a major drop off in the fg% from 49.9% to 35.9%. Obviously this doesn't mean that Dee Brown isn't a great player or can become better, but from an NBA teams view point, it looks as though Dee Brown has hit a wall and reached his potential already.

Dee Brown was never a potential lottery pick. If he were he would have been a top selection in this years weak draft. But the reason he was probably ranked higher last year was primarily because of University of Illinois success last year.
They didn't play as well this year, so naturally, his draft stock fell a little bit.
Nonetheless, Dee Brown was an excellent second round pick! I think he has great potential.

Dee Brown is too small to play either guard position in the nba. The average size for a point guard is 6"4. The average size for a shooting guard is 6"7.

You might laugh at me for saying this but here it goes. He wanted his college degree. Think about it. He can play basketball in the NBA for about 14 to 16 years like most players. Then your bones and muscles start weakening. You are forced to retire for your health. Now he has a college degree to fall back on. He sould only be in his 30s when he retires. Now he has the degree to keep working. He could possibly be a coach, manager, or owner. Staying in college kept his future options open.
Deron Williams however doesn't have a degree. Once he retires he isn't really qualified to do anything.

He was never a potential lottery pick. He's too small and overrated as an NBA talent. He was a late first rounder at best in the 2005 draft and dropped mostly because of workouts and other things.

He wasn't viewed as a lottery pick after last season, and that's why he went back too school. He's too small, especially compared to Deron Williams, but I don't think he should've gone in R2. People don't care about experience anymore. They want projects.

first of all he didnt show any improvement from last year...
second, there were about 4-5 point guards who applied in this year's draft that were better than him(marcus williams, rajon rondo, kyle lowry, shannon brown, jordan farmar)...

Because the coaches moved him from shooting guard to point guard, so his status dropped, unfortunately.

i don't think he ever was a lottery pick, just a good college player. and i think your senior year is what really matters in college basketball.
