"“I can’t wait to just get back to playing full-time..Teams haven’t seen me play since January, so I am excited to get out there and show what I can do. I just have to stick to my strengths, and not try to put too much pressure on myself. I am ready to go. I feel no pain at all in my foot, nothing.”"

Brown knows this is just the beginning. If he is fortunate to be drafted and then make a roster that’s another step up. With Brown’s injury, he would be a lock to play in the NBA Summer league if drafted. He told Kaufman he’s been studying the NBA Game.

"“I’ve been watching NBA games closely the past few weeks, and those guys are smart and very physical…The refs let a lot of stuff go that they call in college, but that’s perfect for me. My game is physical. I can’t wait to get out there and get started.”"

Miami basketball’s Dewan Huell was not invited to the combine. He is one of the players that has declared for the draft but has not signed with an agent. Huell will have a chance to evaluate his situation and make a decision to stay in or return to Miami for his Junior season.

Walker is projected to go from tenth to the end of the lottery. NBADraft.Net projects him 15th to the Washington Wizards. Huell is not expected to be drafted. It would be wise for the 6’11 center-forward to return for at least one more season of college basketball.
