On Sunday, previous Syracuse forward/center/big fellow Maliq Brown committed to Duke. What does he bring to the program?

Well to begin with and preeminent encounter. A rising junior, Brown contains a parcel to offer an awfully youthful group. He was an All-ACC defender. Cooper Flagg is anticipated to be a superb guard, but he is additionally a first year recruit and there are things to memorize. Brown has as of now learned most of them.

Also, Brown can play center and can either back up Khaman Maluach or, conceivably, begin in his place in the event that Maluach isn’t prepared or has issues for anything reason (basically wounds but conceivably other things).

This is often even way better on the off chance that it turns out that Patrick Ngongba is still behind this drop due to the foot injury he endured this past season.

Brown isn’t fiercely talented obnoxiously but he is proficient, hitting about 70 percent of his shots final season. We’ll got to see how this works out, but since he is generally planning to score close the bushel, that will free Flagg up to do wander on offense and, to borrow/paraphrase what Shane Battier said Mike Krzyzewski told him to do on defense, Flagg may be able to fair ”do things.”

Typically too vital and ought to not be underestimated.

Flagg and Maluach are both anticipated to be fabulous shields but not one or the other one is especially effective at this point. Maluach is catching up in numerous ways. He’ll be a very different player after 12-24 months within the weight room but that won’t happen overnight and certainly not by November. And as promising as Flagg is, he incorporates a 17-year-old’s body.

On the off chance that all Brown does – and we think he can do more – is to defend and bounce back and take on ball bullies, he’s a extraordinary expansion.

On the off chance that you need to find an (awfully) unpleasant simple, think of Theo John, who came from Marquette. He was a eminent fellow to bring in off the seat to spell Mark Williams. Brown will likely be more than that for another year’s Duke group.
