Brown Searching For Answers in NY

Brown?s motto has always been ?Playing the right way?. Will he be able to implement his game philosophy in New York? If he does, he?ll sourly merit consideration for Coach of the Year. Brown preaches sharing the ball, which is a concept that has been lost upon Stephon Marbury and Jamal Crawford.

Even though Marbury averaged 8 assists a game last season, he dribbles the ball way too much, which is something that will not fly with his new head coach. With Brown it?s all about sharing the ball, and letting everyone touch it. You don?t have to be a pure point guard to adapt to this style of game. Billups who played for Brown in Detroit is a perfect example of that.

Brown has made it clear that anyone that doesn?t perform to his liking will sit on the bench regardless of how much he is earning. What are Brown?s options at guards? Everyone has been raving about the rookie Nate Robinson, which can replace Marbury at point guard. At second guard, Brown can use Quentin Richardson who can also play small forward.
