Report: Pistons to Sign Kwame Brown

2008/07/29 22:08:24 @NBA.com: News

The Pistons were expected to make a big splash this summer, but 6-foot-11, 270-pound Kwame Brown wasn't what most had in mind. Nevertheless, the No. 1 overall pick of the 2001 draft is coming to Detroit. Brown's downfall from heralded "can't miss"prep prospect to NBA journeyman after seven nondescript seasons has been well chronicled. Look past the cautionary tale, however, and you'll find a 26-year-old who has averaged 7.5 points and 5.7 rebounds per game over his career. At the price the Pistons got him from a free-agent market with few established commodities, the deal makes sense for Detroit, a team with enough roster stability to take a chance.
