He knew he wasn't gonna be in college after this year, so him letting his grade slip a little is understandable.

He refuse to pass out the post cause the players around him, can't even beat a mid-major team
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>which is why Stanford's terrible guards often ignored him</div>
they didn't ignore him, he touched the ball in 27% of their possessions, more than any other C in this draft. They didn't ignore him they tried to give him the ball every oppurtunity they could, but the weren't capable of doing it.

Of course he got the ball a lot. The coach called every single play for him. He was bigger than every guy he played against.
Don't complain that he had to shoot over double and triple teams. He was perfectly capable of making it easier for himself by getting his teammates involved and he rarely did.
As for the guards, it's true that Johnson is a terrible shooter, but he is a good ballhandler and got Brook the ball in good position. Goods can certainly knock down an open shot. He's a decent player. After a while though, these guys got stale and started forcing things to try and stay in the game. Brook would disappear and the announcers would whine and complain that he wasn't getting enough touches or that he seemed lethargic for long stretches.
And Brook is a dumb ass. He chose to attend Stanford University, not Florida State or West Virginia. He had to expect the academics would be more than his pea brain could handle.
