Devin

Brown

Brown averaged 1.7 points in seven games earlier this season with San Antonio.

All three players heading to Golden St. will likely be role players, but they needed some guards to complement their overstock at the forward position.

Brown received quite a few minutes at the end of last season and in the playoffs, but the Brent Barry signing will leave him with a reduced role this year. He’ll still be valuable insurance for the Spurs.

Brown, signed to a 10-day contract earlier this month, has played significant minutes the last two games as he auditions for a spot on next year’s roster.

Brown won a ring with the Spurs in 2005 but hasn’t been heard from lately. He played for the Hornets and Bulls in 2010, but after being waived by Chicago he had “a year of inactivity.” He wasn’t likely to latch onto an NBA roster.

Brown doesn’t have any fantasy value, but he is getting quite a bit more playing time lately, in part due to Brent Barry’s slump.

He also hit all eight of his free throw attempts, but lost the ball late to allow Tracy McGrady to pick it up and hit a game-winning three. Brown is worth watching and is a great pickup option if you have Brent Barry, who was scoreless in eight minutes tonight.

Brown was let go after the Nuggets would not offer him guaranteed money for next season.

He also hit 4-of-5 from downtown in the win and deserves consideration in deep leagues if you need threes.

Brown and Malik Rose seem to be in Gregg Popovich’s doghouse at the moment.
