Not surprised considering all the time he spent on the bench suspended.

He made it longer than Jabari Brown did at Oregon so props to him for that. Unfortunate that so many of these talented kids don't have their heads right. Nowadays with top athletes, the modus operandi seems to be to transfer if you struggle at all with discipline, playing within a system, or putting the team before yourself.

With all the props I've been giving Kentucky recently, I sound like a Big Blue Nation member but you have to give Calipari props for how he gets all his guys, who are used to be THE guy, to play within a system and sacrifice stats for team success.

I don't know if Brown has issues though. I don't think he ever had an attitude problem, and he was a hard worker during the offseason. He just quit, things weren't working for him. Kind of week to leave without giving it a chance, but he did what he had to. Turner on the other hand, is an idiot. Ruining every chance he has to play.

24, don't tell that to Bennett.

Browns biggest issue was the people he surrounds himself with, and who he listens to. It wasn't really his attitude, he just takes advice from scumbags.

The one with attitude issues as well as other things, was Barron. That's why he was shown the door.

One thing that I immediately noticed was that when Brown was on the court he looked more concerned about playing "cool" rather than to make the correct basketball plays.

Everything about him screamed AAU basketball.

That's far from Altman's style.
