Elton Brand: Sixth Man

Easing into it: “About Saturday, which is against the New York Knicks at the Wachovia Center, DiLeo said he was ‘planning’ on having Brand. He also said Brand would come off the bench in “short stints” of four, five, maybe six minutes. Brand said he understood this role coming off the bench. He said he understands that run-and-gun has led to this turnaround (from 13-20 to 20-21). He said he’s all about winning.”
