My Take
Dee Brown is the kind of player I cannot help but admire. At 183 cm he was undersized for the modern game, yet he willed himself to Sporting News National Player of the Year at Illinois in 2005 before the Utah Jazz took him in the second round. That tells me he won with motor and intelligence rather than measurables. What I respect most is the second act: he now coaches at the college level, passing along the grit that built him. There is something honest about a player who keeps giving the game back.
