To start with he fouls way too much. His foul rate is significantly higher than Washington, Withers, and Lubin. The only big with a worse foul rate is Claude, and in recent games Brown has played while Claude has not. UNC has been in NINE games decided by one possession. You can't give minutes to guys who are going to give the opposing team free throws when the margin between winning and losing is so close.

He develops and gets better in practice. He spends hours and hours working to get better. It's a far better environment than throwing him out on the court on game day to rack up fouls, miss rebounds, and get abused by experienced players... all while hurting UNC's chances of winning.
It's entirely possible that the other bigs are better than James Brown in practice. I have no intel on whether that's happening or not, just pointing it out there.
I disagree with that, he damn sure better develop in practice and off season to earn time. That is how you improve when you are young and not game time ready. Many have done it.
I pointed that out earlier, and even used Dean Smith and Bill Guthridge's development of Zwikker as an example. His counterargument was "Yawn."
Good memory. I forgot how frustrating that play was. Dude was right there in front of him and Brown backed away to give him an easier shot.
Agree… and bugs can take more time than most.
Exactly…He needs to play…He ain’t getting any better in practice against the Bigs we have and he doesn’t have a Big Man Coach on this staff either….
And I actually thought May would be a great big man coach. It just looks like he’s gotten great big.
Disagree, UNC bigs are not good, Brown is nervous and antsy when he plays because it's not often. At this point he's got the most potential, he should play more.
Yeah I’m for it throw him out there the other guys have reached their ceiling might as well see
If he can’t learn something from May then there’s no hope for him
Looks like he will get more floor time now, that did not look good for Jalen.
I had to comment. Numerous times I’ve looked at hilights of that team and I think how in the hell did they lose a game…..then I see serge on the court and I remember. The guy worked hard but man he did not belong on the court with those guys. I used to physically cringe when he got the ball.
Well dear lord he was was a good big man himself so he should know how to play the position. Not asking him to coach the team just a position player. Under your logic Hansbourgh would suck too but who knows I would tend to say he wouldn’t.
