After a month of practicing and waiting for his next chance, Sherwood Brown finally has a couple of D-League games under his belt and is feeling confident.

"I was waiting for my moment to get another opportunity," Brown said. "As the days went by I got more anxious to get back out there."

In two games, the former FGCU guard is averaging 10 points and 5 rebounds a game with the Red Claws. In his debut against the LA D-Fenders, now USC head coach Andy Enfield was in attendance.

"It just shows he still cares about us" Brown said. "I didn't even speak to him before the game and didn't know he was going to be there."

After two excursions overseas, Brown felt that the D-League was best for him both because of the location and for its one on one skill development.

While the D-League website boasts that 126 current NBA players have D-League experience, there is no doubt that players have the odds stacked against them.

"I've always been seen as an underdog my entire career," Brown said.

In his usual fashion, Brown has already drained a couple threes and thrown down a few dunks. You can catch Sherwood and the Red Claws on Monday, Jan. 20 at 3:00 p.m on YouTube.
