Scouting Report

Assets
  • As hard-working a big-man as there is in the NBA, Brand brings a nice mix of power, skill, intensity, and leadership to the court every game. He is an elite low-post scorer, rebounder, and defender.
Flaws
  • While his huge wingspan makes up for it, he is a little undersized for an NBA post player. In recent years, injuries have taken their toll.
Career Potential
  • All-Star power forward.
