Nuggets to sign Keith Brumbaugh ....

I was surfing hoopshype.com today, and right at the top of rumors is a twitter from Edge Sports: Client Keith Brumbaugh to sign with the Denver Nuggets. Twitter.com .
After more research, this guy could be a interesting pickup.He played in the D league(stats here) last year and although his numbers dont pop out, I have to believe our front office is looking at him as another hidden gem who wants a 2nd shot (he was a top 5 college recruit 3 years ago). He's 6'10, 210 lbs, 22 years old and plays sg/sf. He's supposedly a lethal shooter and has crazy athleticism. Here is some interesting write ups I found on him:
As trainer Scott Savor put Brumbaugh through a workout last month, Brumbaugh doesn't look like he spent two years away from organized basketball. The southpaw drains jumpers, dunks without remorse and shows off the left hand that made him only the second high-schooler to serve as a counselor at Michael Jordan's camp. The other? LeBron James. Near the end of the workout, Savor orders a drill called "Total Domination." Savor calls the name of a player, and Brumbaugh must impersonate how that player would win a game at the buzzer. Savor yells "Tim Duncan," and Brumbaugh banks in a 16-footer high off the glass. Savor yells "John Stockton," and Brumbaugh fakes a bounce pass before hitting a jumper from the elbow. Savor yells "Tony Parker," and Brumbaugh slices into the lane and drops in a floater.

Kinda confused...
i get we are looking for a diamond in the rough(aka Jones/birdman) but why not go for mccants? this guy just puts us closer to the thug name which is so wrong
reading his info tho he seems just rly unlucky sumtimes….
but i cud see his height giving us a huge advantage, having kobe guard a 6’10/9 SG/SF could help……
billups factor
chauncey is a strong positive influence. he can influence a young player on and off the court. kb has the potential to play and compete at the 2,3,4 and 5 positions. his contract will be for the minimum amount so it will not be a big risk. throw in the steve hess and adrian dantley factors and this could be the next surprise move ala chris andersen. mccants would be out of position at forward coming off the bench. wally is washed up. i would rather have coby karl rather than mccants or wally but not at 13th man on the roster. if denver has a 14 or 15 man roster i can see coby on the team.
What???
Keith Brumbaugh will be better than Michael Beasley
Apparently he at least one fan! note the date on this thread though….

I can see a summer league invite
But let’s be honest… what more could a guy like that get possibly signed for? And yeah, that article’s from 2008 about him. How’s he held up since? I’m curious.
Promise comes and goes for people sadly… just because he was “ranked” as a HS junior doesn’t mean he’s worthy of anything today. Interesting prospect though. We have had successes in this realm… a la Andersen.
well the twitter page deleted the post, hasnt been posted anywhere esle
i guess i got excited cuz we not getting any news anymore!!!!!!aaaa ima go crazy
but i wud like a camp invite for this guy
He has very good size
I know nothing about him, but if he can stroke from deep I would gladly take that over Wally’s world. I would still like to see Coby Karl in camp and possibly on the roster too, though,
I want to see this guy play
Can anyone find ANY video of him??
Apparently he was at the MJ Bball camp along with Lebron but….

video
i found a short video of him in high school lol. you said any video right? :P
http://rivals.yahoo.com/video/recruiting-football/keith-brumbaugh-deland-28271
it sucks though and you can’t make out anything lol
I see Keith as being some weird combo of Hedo Turkoglu and Sun Yue
Or maybe a better comparison is a pretty-damn-poor-man’s Magic Johnson without any of the crazy playmaking skills

thanks for the video
I checked out that video and I think the only time Keith even touches the ball is at the very end for the dunk… he’s no. 25 in the white jerseys right?
I think Keith is basically just like someone who has been in the NBA for a several years already except for the opposite of that.

Brumbaugh should develop some great ball-handling skills and learn the p-f (point-forward) position and be our own Hedo. Seriously, how could that go wrong?

Any word?
Anything new on this front? Definitely like to give this guy a chance over bringing in Wallyworld.
Sounds like a reincarnation...
…of Anthony Randolph. Same skill set. Same body type. That ain’t a bad thing…he’s worth a non-guaranteed, 13th man spot.

Randolph would be averaging 8-19 points and 4-5 rebounds as an energetic backup forward if his coach wasn't named "Don Nelson"

word is...
Hoopshype link: http://blogs.hoopshype.com/blogs/sierra/2009/09/01/brumbaugh-to-nuggets-camp/ No risk there, and if he works out it’s an absolute steal.
Only evident downside is that we probably can't get Coby Karl
I’d love to see him develop on some crappy team like the Grizz. He has the potential to be in the NBA for several seasons.

Karl the Younger
as good as he could be I think the FO would rather avoid any accusations of nepatism… though that doesn’t mean they WON’T bring him on…
