He is a bigger guard and in high school play and international play he was known as one of the better shooters in the class. Although thru the first half of the season he is shooting 28 percent from three on 7 attempts per game and 38 percent overall. For him, your scouts really have to be watching him throughout the high school circuit to now,if this is just a bad stretch and that he will be a plus shooter. He has also missed some time with a bad back.
Skill wise and what he was billed to be, he would be perfect for the Mavs. I have not watched him though. What he has shown so far this year makes it a little more difficult .

Worst case, Mikel Brown may end up being much like Anthony Black. Still very good. But, like Black, perimeter shooting will not be the best part of his game. I think a lot of analysts are thinking Brown's struggles from the perimeter will self-correct sometime this season. He has a great FT% if that's any indication.
