They almost look like the same player. With maybe a slight edge to Brewer on Rebounding and the edge to Gardner on 3 point shooting. Same low FG pct and propensity to chuck the ball. Both juniors and not seen with a lot of room to develop. Both 6-6 ish. Both don't appear to pass the ball all that well. Problem is, the NBA values the 3 pointer out of their guards. Brewer can't slash against the bigger bodies he'll see in the association. The other problem is...I'm comparing Brewer to Thomas Gardner. I don't think Gardner will even be 1st team Big XII, so that's not good.
Sure. As far as NBA productivity, I'll take...
LaMarcus Aldridge. Daniel Gibson. PJ Tucker. Brandon Rush. Julian Wright. Mario Chalmers. Taj Gray. Curtis Stinson. Reggie Roby. Joseph Jones. (most of these guys I'd rather have right now, the rest will be better with development time).
Tell me something. If Ronnie Brewer's so great, why isn't Arkansas an NCAA tourney team? Great players take teams on their backs and beyond expectations. Remember Wally Sczerbiak? He's a mediocre NBA player, but he took Miami (OH) deep in the tourney. Are you saying that this Ark. team has less talent surrounding Brewer than Miami (OH) had surrounding Wally? Or look at Pittsnogle. Or Pops Mensa-Bonsu. How about Nick Fazekas (or Kirk Snyder a couple of years ago)? Is Ark less talented than Nevada's surrounding cast?
Making these lists, you're bound to cheese somebody off. I had to pick on somebody and I chose your guy. Sorry if that bothers you, but I've seen him play a few times and never been all that impressed.
Until he can shoot the 3, there's no way he should go that high.
