Spade_Cooley 9,547 Posted October 21, 2022 Had a strong feeling Brown would QO: he wasn't just a run-of-the-mill basketball ref, he was in the stripes for the 2020 NBA Finals. Reason I didn't pick him was I thought he'd hold on for 2023 and I could play him then. Ah well, we move. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Banana 859 Posted October 21, 2022 With Brown I thought there was probably an 80% chance he’d QO. Didn’t pick him because he was going back to work in some capacity so I thought he’d probably make 2023. With recent news he would’ve been a lock for me in everything.
