TALIEK BROWN: Odličan Play ili odličan play (bez šuta)???
TALIEK BROWN: TIME WILL TELL...
Objects in the mirror may appear bigger than they are..
..piše na retrovizorima U.S. automobila. Neizostavno poglavlje u budućim filmovima s naslovom 'Life of BBall GM', ljudi koji moraju znati ama baš sve o svojim igračima & pickovima na terenu...
Exibit A: Tyus Edney bio je ZAKON na UCLA-u, svojim neustašivim ulazima pod koš 6'0'' visoki play priskrbio je Bruinsima titulu 1995. Kada je došao u NBA, u Kingse, postao je instant HIT...barem prvih par tjedana...dok protivnički scouting reporti nisu naveli i sljedeći detalj:
'Edney can't hit from beyond 20 feet...'
..a i izvan terena...
Exibit B: Chris Washburn, nesuđeni draft pick Pacersa '86...za kojega je, nakon što je saznao da se drogira, GM Walsh prije drafta izjavio:
'Ako izgleda kao patka, hoda kao patka i glasa se kao patka onda je PATKA!!!'
I bješe PATKA!!
Kva, kva...
Cibona je dovela odličnog američkog playa sa vrsnim NCAA pedigreom(UConn) Talieka Brownea. Momak je nakon Ciboninog NBA nastupa protiv Benetonna shvatio da je došao u pravi pravcati 'čopor, ipak to nisu samo treninzi protiv 'zemljaka Scoonia.
Neki dan je protiv Širokog umalo promašio 4D dimenziju(8p/8s/8a/4uk.lo.), ali su lokalni mediji izvijestili i o njegovoj relativnoj šuterskoj inferiornosti potkrijepljenoj 6-2 izvođenjem sl.bacanja...
Meni to jednostavno nije sjelo...medijska Pila naopako i Cibonina Patka...u jednom??? Pomislih...evo što mi je na tu 'teoriju zavjere' SMS-om odgovorio Yazid:
Štos je što je Brown imao nizak projek jer je trebao loptama hraniti Carona Butlera, Bena Gordona i Okafora, a po naravi je PASS FIRST PLAY KOJI POGODI KAD TREBA...
I dok internet jednostavno vrvi napisima koji upozoravaju na Browneovu šutersku impotenciju, naročito sa linije slobodnih bacanja (što može biti potencijalno opasno u završnicama nekih Ciboninih utakmica)...
Brown is a pass-first playmaker who gets his teammates shots. He has good range on his jump shot, but needs to improve his shooting consistency. (Jay Bilas, ESPN.com)
Point guard Taliek Brown's decision making has been hot and cold. When he drives into four defenders and puts a shot up from behind his head, it's cold. When he nears double-digits in assists and a gets a slew of easy buckets off turnovers, things are going swimingly. Unfortunately, Taliek has yet to have such a game against a quality (conference opponent). (Rob Tedesco, www.simianfever.com/uconn.htm)
Weaknesses: Brown has been criticized throughout his career for his inability to make outside shots and free throws. He rarely will even attempt a perimeter jump shot and shoots just over 50% from the line, which is not a good quality for a point guard. At times Brown can be a little overaggressive with his passes, but he keeps his turnover rate very low. (Ari Zivyon, www.collegehoopsnet.com/bigeast/connecticut/033104.htm)
…neka se čuje i druga strana medalje…
..Nailed a 30-FOOT(9.15 m) THREE POINTER 34.8 seconds remaining to send UConn to a 74-65 double-overtime victory over Pittsburgh and the program’s fifth BIG EAST Tournament Championship
After a jump ball, Connecticut was forced to inbound on the sidelines with 36 seconds left and two on the shot clock. The Huskies entered the ball near halfcourt to Brown, an oft-criticized point guard. He took a dribble and launched a 35-FOOTER(10.65 m) THAT RATTLED HOME for a five-point cushion with 34 seconds left. "I knew the shot was going in," Brown said. "I just squared up and stood in. I thought that was a big shot, put the game away. It's hard to come back from something like that." (sportsillustrated.cnn.com/basketball/college/men/recaps)

!!!Kao i uvijek vrijeme će pokazati, ali čini se da je Cibonina uprava dovođenjem (prikrivenog snajperiste) Brownea za tržišno najmizerniji iznos sebi kupila maksimalni dostupan vremenski horizont. Ne znam igraju li u klubu iz Savske fantasy basketball, jer bi u tom svijetu ova njihova transakcija zasigurno bila vrhunski potez...
Naravno ovo drži vodu samo uz pravu Primarnu i Sekundarnu napadačku opciju, jer ne bi bilo pošteno od Brownea očekivati da od Vodonoše postane žedan lopte...
High five,
