If Brimah was averaging 12 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 blocks per 40 minutes on another team, I bet people would die to have him. But because he's doing it for a completely dysfunctional squad, he's terrible.
Look - he's a frustrating player on a team full of frustrating players. He should be better by now.
He's a situational guy, or, in other words, a very useful player when he's not asked to do too much. He's the type of guy you would love to add to a team that is already made or one piece of way, but he's not going to be an anchor. It's fair to question how well he's been coached.
If you want to know why this team has underachieved, Rodney Purvis is the first, second, and third biggest reason. The fourth reason is the fact that, sans Larrier, we have absolutely nothing at the four (this is a double negative, because Ollie's insistence on using Facey at the four has cost us a valuable back-up center, and instead Enoch, a below replacement level player, eats up those minutes), and the fifth reason is that we've yet to get two guards to play well in the same game.
This has been one of those seasons where it's like you're cleaning out an attic. It's a chore and you want to be done with it, but in the process of cleaning the attic you find a couple of salvageable pieces that you can keep. Brimah is one of those pieces.
