Cavaliers eye Brown as backcourt boost after draft move
Cleveland envisions Larry Hughes improving guard play with Eric Snow and Damon Jones backing him. They may not bring Flip Murray back as they add backcourt depth. The Cavs chose Brown at 25 amid a draft where Foye Douby Rondo Williams Lowry Farmar and others were selected ahead. Brown's Big Ten grit and athleticism could help Mike Brown’s system, while Gibson Ubboaja and Ugboaja prospects linger overseas or as rights holders.
