Multiple sources have reported that the New York Knicks have displayed interest in signing veteran center Kwame Brown.Brown has been the laughing stock of the NBA for years ever since he never lived up to the expectations of being drafted number one overall to the Wizards in 2001.
Since coming into the league, he has played for the Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, Memphis Grizzlies, Detroit Pistons, and Charlotte Bobcats.
Last season, Brown averaged 7.9 points and 6.8 rebounds in 26 minutes a game in his first year with the Bobcats. He also made 51.7 percent of his field goal attempts and started 50 out of the 66 games he played in with the team.
Personally, I think that signing Kwame Brown would be a good move for the Knicks. The only other center on the Knicks that isn't a free agent right now is Ronny Turiaf (Amar'e Stoudemire plays better at the power forward position) and Brown is arguably better than Turiaf.
Brown could also be considered the best center among Knicks free agents Shelden Williams and Jared Jeffries and unsigned second round draft-pick Josh Harrellson.
I think that Brown is better than fans generally view him because of his persona as a draft bust. Most YouTube videos of him are of bloopers and people rarely view him as a serious player.
Consider this: Kwame Brown's Player Effeciency Rating is 12.89, which is better than Shelden Williams (12.33) and Jared Jeffries (8.05). Brown's PER is also better than many respected centers around the league such as Channing Fyre (12.87), Zydrunas Ilgauskas (12.84), Ben Wallace (12.29), and Kendrick Perkins (9.60).
To sum up this entry, I would just like to say that Kwame Brown is a talented center and I hope that the Knicks sign him.
Have any thoughts on Kwame Brown possibly going to the Knicks? Leave a comment below and tell me what you think.
