BMTSoulja1 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Very interesting. The kid is good. He was all conference so and so and a very good scorer this year. I believe his stock would have been higher had his team gotten out of the first round of the playoffs.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 I'm sure Mr. Brown put out the "feelers" before making this decision and looking at the class coming out this year. Maybe he's being looked at in the 1st round
freeze 1914 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 He had a great season. I think he should give it one more year at UT.
catfever Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 If he isn't being looked at in the first round then he should stay in school and get his degree. I hope he is getting good advice. He has really improved over the past three years. Just watching him play this year, he didn't strike me as a NBA player yet.

BLUEDOVE3 Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 I guess it really depends on who else is coming out this year. If not too many guards come out this year, it might be a good thing. Also look to see whose possibly coming out next year. Just maybe its his time.
catfever Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 Just get good advice. Hold off on getting an agent. The tournament isn't even over yet. You never know who might come out and who might stay. There were some surprises last year on kids staying in school.
CThoops Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 He needs one more year of being the go-to guy for Texas. He would be a first-round pick next draft if he puts up the same numbers. He is leaving a year early if he actually goes, but early departures are a trade-mark of Texas Basketball
CThoops Posted March 22, 2012 Report Posted March 22, 2012 [quote name="BLUEDOVE3" post="1200542" timestamp="1332444349"]He'll be okay.[/quote]Yes he will. Can manufacture points and make plays for others as well as anybody else in the draft

Aces_Full Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 J'covan has improved every year at Texas. He definitely has NBA skills. He can score, shoot, great passer, and handles very well with both hands. He has a very high basketball IQ. He is ready in my opinion. And this is from a guy who didn't think he would last this long at Texas. He has really matured mentally and physically. Congrats J'covan. Way to prove a lot of people wrong.

Brown was gifted with his talent long before he hit Kelly.
WOSgrad Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Brown released a statement today saying he has not made a decision:http://www.beaumontenterprise.com/sports/hs/article/UT-s-J-Covan-Brown-has-not-made-decision-on-NBA-3428084.php
shorttexas1 Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 He played his final two years in 5A Nash....

Dick Vitale Posted March 23, 2012 Report Posted March 23, 2012 Played his junior season and half of his senior season at Memorial....If I recall, there were SEVERAL on this VERY BOARD that said he "would never wear a Texas uniform" or "he will be home in Port Arthur"...and ONLY one of them on here has admitted what they said and apologized....Any one else wanna "man up"? ::) 8)
AggiesAreWe Posted March 23, 2012 Author Report Posted March 23, 2012 I posted my apology two years ago.
alice Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 I didn't post against him but I was definately a doubter. Congratulations are definately deserved for his success both on the court and off at UT. Good Luck and Congrats J'CovanGO Bucs..
whsalum Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 I was very skeptical about him coming out of high school. Never doubted his baskeball skills but his attitude on the court.He has grown up in Austin which is a credit to both he and Coach Barnes.I'm sure he has a ton of folks advising him but I hope he stays at UT one more season.If he improves as much this off season as he did last off season his draft status would definitely improve.UT produces some great NBA players but they have also had some recently who came out to early. Just curious what his degree field is? A diploma from the 40 acres could open some doors off the hardwood.
BADSANTA Posted March 24, 2012 Report Posted March 24, 2012 I've heard he could be A early 2nd rounder.
BLUEDOVE3 Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Just seen latest updates:Longhorn guard J’Covan Brown will forego his senior season and enter the NBA draft, he announced today.“There were a lot of reasons to come back to school next year, most importantly getting my degree and being around my teammates every day,†Brown said in a statement. “But the time has come for me to pursue a career in professional basketball and take care of my daughter, Jordyn.â€Nearly two weeks ago, the American-Statesman and other news outlets reported that Brown would leave for the draft, the Statesman citing an NBA source. Brown issued a statement in response indicating that no decision had been made.
Aces_Full Posted April 2, 2012 Report Posted April 2, 2012 Article says he is a likely late 2nd round pick or free agent. 2nd round money isn't guaranteed either. I hope it works out well for him. Personally, I think he should go higher than late 2nd. He can play.
