Necessity became the mother of invention late last spring for Deleon Brown.
During that time, Brown was recovering from a broken left hand that sidelined him the final eight games of the 2017-18 season for the Colorado men's basketball team. As a lefty shooter, Brown's options were limited for how he would keep his skill sharp on the floor.
Discerning observers of the first three weeks of the season will note Brown often has attacked the basket far more frequently. And he often does so with his right hand.
While the junior guard still will earn the bulk of his playing time off the bench as one of the Buffaloes' top perimeter defenders, he goes into Tuesday's home date against South Dakota looking to shake off the worst shooting performance of a young season that otherwise has seen Brown make small yet meaningful offensive contributions.
