At the 2022 BIG3 Combine, a number of coaches said they were looking for a lock-down defender and someone who could play multiple positions. Coach Gary Payton was the one who was able to get one on his squad for the 2022 season, and it paid off in 2024 with Brewer winning Defensive Player of the Year and Bivouac winning the championship.
Brewer stands at 6’9 with a wingspan to match. He has extremely active hands. Perhaps most importantly, he never, ever stops moving, and is almost always one of the fastest players on the court.
The former Florida Gator and the 7th overall pick in the NBA Draft played 13 years in the NBA, because there’s not a coach on the planet who doesn’t want a player with Brewer’s combination of size, hustle, and ability to be an absolute pest on defense.
In 2025, it’ll be Brewer’s first season as Co-Captain of the Houston Rig Hands.
