    Now I know he isn't that good of a player but do you guys think he is improving or just getting worse?Washington 03-04 10.9ppg 7.4rpg 0.7bpg 0.89spg .489fg% .683ft% 1.9pf 30.3mpg 74 games LA 05-06 6.0ppg 5.9rpg 0.62bpg 0.36spg .489fg% .539ft% 2.8pf 25.8mpg 58 games Comparing Kwame's best season in Washington to this season in LA. He still seems kind of lost out there and scared to do some of the things he (supposedly) is able to do

    Depends on his minutes and teammates...I call it lack of caring about basketball more than anything.

    Without a doubt Kwame is improving. His offense is getting better, his rebounding latley has been great and his Post defense is amazing and i mean amazing. His a better man on man defender than ben wallace.I gotta give it to the guy, the whole bench responded when JJ arrived. Luke walton's playing well. It's nice.

    Got 21 and 12 tonight, but my guess is he's 0-7 next game.

    Nah i'm talking about since he took the starting center position from the injured mihm. He plays better at center.Today he ripped the queens.

    He is Improving, more than I have imageined. I expected him to be a 10-3 Guy all year, but I think he is coming to become what we all hoped for 17-9 type of guy.

He's got to prove himself consistently before we start wetting our selves with the possibilities.

    not overjoyed but we shouldn't dimiss them either. I think his on the upside, starting center since mihm left. He's so much better at C.

    well he is showing signs of improvement, he's begunn to realise his role and what he's supposed to do, so now its only a matter of time before we see a consitent improvement.

    Sad to say, but the Lakers have been p-laying better with Mihm off. Mostly because of the better position Kwame plays as C. Think LA should make any changes because of this?

    Interesting to see how he'll do against Tim Duncan. He usually plays well against the top dogs.

    Kwame is improving all of a sudden. He's hustling for the ball, crashing the boards, shooting the ball, etc. He just needs to understand when to pass, when to shoot. Also, he needs to catch the ball better his ball-handle SUCKS.

    to be perfectly honest i really dont care about Kwame Brown anymore. When your a number one pick u are suppossed to at least gradually increase every year......and as his stats say, he is not doing that. Michael Jordan kinda screwed up in drafting him......and to be honest, I would rather see Michael Jordan come back to play again than seeing him be a GM again.......or whatever he was. I think i have almost given up on Kwame

    Let me get this straight, you've had hope in Kwame when the season begun when he was playing like <Censored> and you've given up on him now when he's playing much better? weird.
