Minnesota Timberwolves: Top 20 draft busts
By Antoine Bass
12. Myron Brown
With the 34th pick in the 1991 draft the Minnesota Timberwolves selected Myron Brown.
Brown was not a highly scouted prospect coming out of high school so most major colleges and universities overlooked him.
Brown went to Slippery Rock where he attended four years. In his four years there, Brown managed to become a four time All-American and finished as Slippery Rock’s all-time leading scorer. This led to the Minnesota Timberwolves drafting Brown.
His talent skill set from college never transferred to the NBA as he only played for one season. In his one season with the Timberwolves, Brown averaged 2.3 points per game. The Timberwolves eventually released Brown at the end of the season.
After Brown was released from the Timberwolves he was signed by the Fort Wayne Fury which are a CBA team.
During his time with the Fort Wayne Fury Brown won two dunk contests becoming the first person in the CBA to win twice. He also became a CBA All-Star in the 1996-97 season.
Brown may have not been able to have a successful career in the NBA but he was able to have a solid career in the CBA. This still does not change the fact that Brown was a bust.
He was hyped up and never seemed able to live up to it.
