Perhaps the most encouraging off-court news is in the 
progress of injured swingman Kedrick Brown, who is 
expected to miss from 4-6 weeks with a severely sprained 
right ankle.

"He's riding the bike, which is a good sign," O'Brien 
said of Brown, who also took stationary shots from under 
a basket following Wednesday's practice.

But don't underestimate the impact of Brown's absence, 
now that O'Brien is attempting to work his rotation into 
shape.

``I had Kedrick projected as the first substitute at the 
2 and 3 spots, so that's a tough thing to deal with,'' 
said O'Brien.

(...) After making the typical rookie adjustments, last 
year, Brown said he is a wiser, more confident player.

"Last year, I didn't know what to expect," he said. "I 
felt kind of blindfolded. But the coaches know what I can 
do from practice, and I know what I can do. I just have 
to go out there and not try to force anything, but 
instead, let the game come to me."

Brown, who is averaging eight points per game in the 
preseason, is learning is hoping to contribute at both 
ends of the court.

"Hopefully," he said, "my ability to guard while take a 
lot of pressure off Pierce, if I'm guarding the 
(opponent's) best player. I think I can help the team 
that way.
