Untrue.  He played within himself, and was mistake-avoidant, like a younger CJ Fair.

When he was more aggressive offensively at times, he demonstrated a nice outside shooting touch and the ability to score attacking the basket.  Were he on next year's team, without a ball dominant gunner like Mintz, I'd expect his scoring to jump into the 14 - 15 ppg realm, and people would be lauding him for his offensive versatility instead of discussing him being an offensive liability.

There's a difference between "can't" and "doesn't."  And for a younger, underclassman like Brown, playing within both himself and the team's structured offensive concept and not trying to do too much is admirable, not something to knock.

I remember similar narratives about CJ Fair during his freshman / sophomore campaigns.  One poster famously declared -- then doubled and tripled down -- on the assertion that he couldn't score outside of 10 feet.  Then, CJ shot 50% from three his junior year, and said poster disappeared.  Oops.
