Although the staff discussed several players, John Chiles, Dustin Earnest, Tray Allen, Greg Smith, John Gold and Justin Tucker among them, Chykie Brown had the support of everyone from the beginning. Ross summed it up this way: “He’s someone we know will play a significant amount. He’s someone we know has a great deal of talent. Someone with that much talent who will play that much is someone who is worthy of taking right here.”Jeff asked, “Is there anyone else other than Chykie Brown that just glaringly has to be picked here?”For the staff, the answer was no.
