Brown has not exactly lived up to the hype he had created around himself when he got drafted as the first pick in the 2001 NBA draft. 12 years in the league and he had an extremely low average of 6.6 points and 5.5 rebounds. The NBA player has also been through seven NBA teams and reached a career-high double-figure point average only once in his entire career of 12 years.
