Brewer's future in the NBA is bright (when he chooses to enter the NBA draft). He was projected by ESPN.com's Chad Ford to be a lottery pick to mid-first round pick in the 2006 NBA Draft if he had entered the draft that year.^[3] However, Brewer, along with teammates Joakim Noah and Al Horford announced at the championship pep rally that they will indeed be returning for their junior seasons.^[4]
