BAYNO ON BROTHERSON: "He brings an incredible amount of energy and enthusiasm to our team. He just plays with no fear. He has worked hard this offseason on improving his shooting and if he is successful shooting the ball, it will give us a tremendous lift. His ability to attack the basket, break defenses down off the dribble, finish in transition and shut down big-time scorers were his strengths last year.
