mid-‘90s to the mid-’00s. Since that comment is coming from an absolute hater of the Jazz, you can take it to the bank as verifiable truth in gold. Jon Brockman, on the other hand, comes across as a poor man’s version of Craig Smith — although “Cookies” has got a so-so mid-range jump shot and can play at least passable defense — so he’s got next to no shot of making it in the NBA.

Unlike Brockman, Notre Dame star Luke Harangody actually has a slim shot of sticking with a NBA team. That, of course, is due to Harangody having somewhat of a diversified game on offense — since he can sporadically stick it from 15 feet out — however, he’s also a downright abysmal defender due to his short stature, piss-poor lateral quickness, and lack of elite athleticism.

I do think Brockman could rebound in the NBA— but I’m not sure it would be worth it given that he would be overwhelmed in every other aspect of the game.

That quote threw me off immediately.

I don’t follow NCAA much and I have no clue who Jon Brockman is, but a Przybilla 6 inches shorter is a really awful NBA player.

Or, like AK says, a much shorter Aaron Grey… ugh.

I’m assuming Brockman is white, so somewhere along the line a fan of his will say he has “the heart of a champion”.

Exactly what I thought. One helluvan insurance salesman. Sorry, guy. You’ve obviously got some kind of creepy obsession with this Brockman character — if that’s even his real name!!!

but things move fast here – don’t delay

pick on a non-domestic power forward like Henk Norel, Vitor Faverani, or Vladimir Dasic — despite it still being a needless gamble in my book — over the limited Jon Brockman.

have him compete for minutes at power forward versus a second-round draft pick (e.g., Jeff Pendergraph) that actually has the potential to make an impact in the NBA.

I’d like to see the team invite a relatively experienced pivotman to Las Vegas, too, with Robert Swift as an example, for he’d definitely bring a more well-rounded game to the table at center than either Steven Hill or Aleks Maric provided last year.

Y’know, though, the fifteen-man summer league roster this year could use a couple of guys similar to Hill and Maric, though, with potential undrafted free-agents like Luke Nevill or John Bryant being possibilities.

Brockman is a loser. He should find some sheep farm in Eastern OR/WA or Idaho to work on. Dang redneck.

Crew cuts FTW.

“think of Joel Przybilla being six inches shorter and you have Jon Brockman”

That, traditionally, does not result in a very good pro basketball player.

resemble a shorter version of Joel Przybilla. In all actuality, Chuck Hayes of the Houston Rockets is really the closest thing to a smaller Przybilla — especially with regards to man-to-man interior defense — while Brockman is pretty much a more compact version of Aaron Gray, who possesses the same workmanlike low-post game on offense that is hindered by a lack of elite athleticism, piss-poor lateral quickness, and fitness issues. Likewise, Gray and Brockman are both pitiful on defense.

All Ike IS is offense.

Yikes stripes fruit stripe gum!!!
