<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>There is no doubt that Brown had a career year with Hornets this past season. Signed in mid-December, Devin was supposed to be a key reserve on the injury-depleted Hornets roster. After a few more injuries sidelined guards Chris Paul and Bobby Jackson for a while, Brown stepped in and played tremendously. He averaged 10, 6 and 3 a game during the month of December, and continued his success in January averaging 13, 4 and 3 a game.Coach Scott was able to rotate Brown throughout the season, either putting him in the starting lineup or moving him to the bench. Brown was also a solid defender on the perimeter, keeping opposing players in check. It seemed as though there was not a thing that Devin could not do for the team in ?06-07, except maybe go head-to-head with LeBron. Even Brown?s FG percentages were solid, he shot 35% from beyond the 3-point line, and his total FG percentage for the year was 42%.</div>Check out the full article at HornetsNews.com.

I always liked Devin Brown when he played for the San Antonio Spurs, he's always had a lot of talent and it's nice to see him get that chance to show it, even if it did mean somebody else had to be injured for that to happen. I think New Orleans will definitely re-sign him.
If they don't resign him, they're shooting themselves in the foot. Come on now, they've got a solid scoring guard that is willing to play from the bench and has the ability to run the 2 and the 3. Plus, he's a solid perimeter defender, something we haven't had since Stacey Augmon (even when he was past prime) and something that we won't find in a prospect 2 guard in this draft. If they don't resign this guy, it will mean that they would have to play Bobby Jackson more at the two and (possibly) resign Desmond Mason. Both are very risky things to do.
