"I was really blown away watching him play," Brown said, referring to the player under strong consideration by the Milwaukee Bucks to be selected with the first overall pick in the NBA draft Tuesday. "He was very skilled, like a poor man's Bill Walton. He could pass, he had great hands, he had a really good touch around the basket. He wasn't unbelievably athletic, but athletic enough. And real long. It's so difficult to find big players. "Coach (Dean) Smith always used to tell me, 'Find great players with big feet and big hands. You can't teach either one of those things.' I think he has that." Spurs coach Gregg Popovich, who assisted Brown with Team USA said, "(Bogut) was outstanding. His talent speaks for itself. He's got great hands, he can shoot it, he's got the moves on the block and he can play out on the floor. "But what really impressed me the most is he's a fantastic passer. He's really a big-time passer and he really understands the game. A very gifted individual."</div> Source
