Brown (188, 26) and Prokom agreed on a one-year contract. He returns to Europe after spending the 2007-08 season with Alba Berlin, where he averaged 16 points and 4.2 assists in the Eurocup. He was involved in the longest ever Eurocup game that season – a 141-127 five-overtime Berlin win over KK Bosna in which Brown scored 44 points and forced the first, fourth and fifth overtimes. Brown also helped Berlin win the 2008 German League championship with 13.8 points and 3.7 assists per game. Over the past two seasons, Brown has played in 113 NBA games for Sacramento, Minnesota, New Orleans and Los Angeles Clippers, averaging 5.1 points and 1.8 assists along the way. He enjoyed a standout college basketball career at Cal State Fullerton, finishing as the school's alltime leading scorer. Brown was named first-team All-Big West Conference after his senior season in 2007 when he recorded team-highs of 20.2 points and 5.1 assists per game. With Brown, Prokom has several newcomers in the backcourt – Mike Wilks, Courtney Eldridge, Denham Brown, Iwo Kitzinger and Sebastian Balcerzak – to go with returnees Dan Ewing and Przemyslav Zamojski.
