NBA career
Utah Jazz (2006-2010)
Brewer was selected with the 14th pick in the 2006 NBA Draft by the Utah Jazz. Brewer saw very limited playing time in his 2006–07 rookie season with Utah, appearing in only 56 games. However, after a strong performance in the 2007–08 preseason,[2] he assumed the role of Utah's starting shooting guard. By mid-November 2007, he was averaging double figures in points and was among the NBA leaders in steals. He was later selected to play in the 2008 Rookie-Sophomore Game. On February 28, 2009 Brewer recorded a career high 26 points, along with 7 rebounds and 4 steals against the Sacramento Kings. [1]
Memphis Grizzlies (2010)
On February 18, 2010, he was traded to the Memphis Grizzlies for a protected future first round pick. His playing time declined late in the season due to a hamstring injury and the Grizzlies' fading playoff hopes.[3]
Chicago Bulls (2010-2012)
On July 16, 2010, Brewer agreed to a deal with the Chicago Bulls.[4] In his first season with the Bulls, Brewer played back up shooting guard, averaged 22 minutes per game, and was among the league leaders in defensive efficiency.[5]
On July 10, 2012, the Bulls declined Brewer's option for the next season, along with teammate C.J. Watson's option.[6]
New York Knicks (2012- )
On July 25, 2012, Brewer signed with the New York Knicks.[7]
Player profile
