Isiah Brown’s career at Northwestern is over—the sophomore point guard has opted to transfer from the program—and his struggles to earn playing time this past season are likely the greatest determining factor in his decision. After an up-and-down freshman season, Brown fell out of the rotation for nearly a month during the thick of conference play, ceding minutes to junior guard Jordan Ash and freshman wing Anthony Gaines. Brown’s performance certainly disappointed Chris Collins, and his score-first mentality may have rubbed teammates and fans the wrong way, but there’s no doubt that he was a talented scorer who probably deserved more opportunities than he was given.
