    What positions can he play? I always thought he was a point guard in college, but I know he has the skills to play the 2-guard as well. But on Yahoo it lists him as a guard-forward? He's only 6'4, can he really play small forward? :confused:

    He's probably undersized for Small Forward, but I love seeing him play in blowouts. Another good energy guy who contributes something for us unlike a broken down Mihm (nothing personal dude).

    Yeah, he really does remind me of a smaller version of Trevor.

    As much as he has been struggling lately, I think Trevor is a lot more complete on offense though.

    Well coming into the league he wasn't, but he improved.

    I think Shannon Brown is sorta in that mold, he just has to work hard in the offseason. Trevor had a consistent shot this year, or at least pretty consistent. He hit 2 huge threes for us a while ago against Golden State to help us win. He's just in a funk right now, he'll snap out of it though.

    Btw, Ariza and Brown are the same age :O

    Shannon can jump over an Ashton Martin.

    No need for special effects on the computer like old man Kobe.

    That fastbreak block was fucking SICK

    Shannon Brown was a SG/SF in college, but he was rated as the top PG coming out of HS.

    When Bynum comes back, either Shannon Brown or Adam Morrison (more likely), will be taken out of the rotation. Dacos is just doing too well right now. 5 Blocks in 17 minutes with 10 points is solid numbers, especially on 4-5 shooting.

    Shannon Brown is a SG, I think. I don't look at him as a PF or as a PG.

    I think he needs to be able to play all three positions. Farmar and Derek have the point guard spots; Kobe and Sasha have the SG spots. Walton, Ariza, Odom all play SF. So, Shannon Brown might need to be a third-tier backup for all three positions.
