That video got me thinking. I'm no basketball expert, but I think Carlon Brown's contribution to the success of this program cannot be understated. Two years ago, we had an NBA lottery pick (Burks), an NBA caliber senior (Higgins), and a freshman phnom who will likely be a lottery pick (Dre). Brown sat out his transfer year. Last year, having lost 3/4 of the prior year's scoring, was supposed to be a transition year as be broke in some freshman talent. Brown took over with senor leadership and scoring to continue the prior year's success, and showed the basketball world that CU was not a flash in the pan.
For a one-and-done player, Brown really shined.
