Brown probably won't join Jazz for training camp

Only six weeks to the start of NBA training camps.

Will second-round draft pick Dee Brown be in Boise, where the Jazz will once
again go to get ready for the season?

No, I'm guessing.

Brown is the second-round pick out of Illinois who is being asked to make the
difficult transformation from collegiate shooting guard to professional point
guard.

While Brown had some eye-opening moments during the Rocky Mountain Revue
summer league — mostly because of the range on his jump shot — his play was
generally disappointing.

He had a difficult time keeping other point guards from penetrating, and he
seemed uncomfortable in the role of primary ballhandler.

Unlike their other second-round pick — Louisiana Tech forward Paul Millsap —
the Jazz have not signed Brown to a contract.

I don't think they will, either.

Brown probably wants some guaranteed money that, right now, the Jazz are
unwilling to give.

While Brown obviously wants to play in the NBA, he might have to go overseas
to get a guaranteed contract.

At the same time, he could get a chance to perfect his point guard skills —
perhaps setting himself up for an improved chance to stick in the NBA in a
couple of years.
