Re: Brown's playing time

["Dan Forant" <dforant1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Kedrick is greener than a St.Patrick's Shamrock. Makes one wonder what the
hell he's been doing all this time. Running down the court on offense and
hiding in a corner isn't going to cut it. With his athleticism I don't
believe we have the coaching staff to bring him along. He needs someone to
take him under their wing.
