Remember him? If not, Sir Val was one half of GW's scoring machine back in the Tom Penders days, the other being career all time leading scorer Chris Monroe. Sir Val had the green light to shoot, and he took advantage of it, nearly becoming the first freshman to lead the NCAA in scoring in the 1999-2000 season, with 24.6 points per game on 33% shooting. Yes, 33%. He did set the GW single season scoring record though, with 783. I think he also broke some of Allen Iverson's Virginia high school scoring records.He didn't have as good of a year as a sophomore, with his scoring dropping to about 17 points per, and then made the ill-advised choice to leave school and declare for the NBA - the rumor was that he was doing very poorly in school and wouldn't have qualified for the next season. Needless to say Sir Val didn't get drafted, and he drifted around, with brief stints in the NBDL's now-defunct Roanoke Dazzle, Uruguay and I think Puerto Rico. He also played for One World All-Stars, one of those traveling exhibition teams.
But anyway, he's back, with the Butte Daredevils. I wish him the best of luck.

Daredevils play without Davis, Brown
By The Standard Staff - 12/02/2007
The Butte Daredevils played without forward Lionel Davis and guard Sir Valiant Brown, because of suspensions, against the Great Falls Explorers in their Saturday night Continental Basketball Association game in the Civic Center.
Daredevils chief officer Joe Clark told The Montana Standard that Davis and Brown were both expected to draw penalty time from the league once punishments are announced Sunday regarding a game brawl that erupted between the Daredevils and the East Kentucky Miners Thursday night in Pikeville, Ky. The second-quarter fight involved at least 10 players and probably more, according to sources. Punishment is expected to include suspensions and fines of varying lengths and amounts, Clark said. He added the team decided to sit Davis and Brown, with CBA headquarters approval, and have the down time count toward whatever their lengths of suspensions turn out to be.
