After Dream Team I was announced in 1992 and Dee Brown was not on it,
there was talk about him possibly developing into a player who could make
Dream Team II in 1996.  I guess that would have been after his second
year.  Do you remember when he used to have Iverson like athletic
ability?  I know "there was talk" is a little vague, but it was a long
time ago.  My point is that it was probably said by the same people who
are calling Pierce a potential hall of famer and the next Havlicek after
only eight games.
