Brown is important depth because he can cover center and guard, but the immediate story is getting his ankle right. Making the active roster signals confidence that he can help relatively soon rather than losing the first month to IR.
Strengths: Interior flexibility, roster trust and useful emergency value.
Weaknesses: Current ankle recovery has limited practice availability and interrupts his preparation.
