  Elton Brand, Duke
Scouting Report: Elton Brand ran away with the national player of the year awards in '99, yet his numbers were relatively modest and there was a sense that he won because of a lack of competition, not because of his overwhelming dominance.
Elton improved at using the relocation pass to find Avery and Langdon spotting up as the season went on, but there were still times that he stubbornly went to the basket in the face of heavy opposition with no good shot available.
Brand's best individual move was using his power to back opponents in, and then either try to spin around for a layup, or turn around for a short jumper.

Brand, if the email is to be trusted, was less than amused.
Cliff: While both Grant and Brand are wrong to make gross generalizations about large groups of people, I do think it's fair to say that Grant-- a professional sportswriter employed by the worldwide leader-- is held to a much higher standard than Brand-- a private citizen sending a private email to one person.
