  "account": "Derrick Brown, a former second-round pick from Xavier, donned the No. 4 jersey for the Charlotte Bobcats from 2009 to 2011. After being selected 40th overall in 2009, Brown played 57 games during his rookie season, averaging 9.4 minutes per contest. At the beginning of his second season, the Bobcats waived him after 41 games. He was subsequently claimed by the New York Knicks but only suited up for eight games before returning to Charlotte as a free agent for the 2010-11 campaign. Brown capitalized on the increased playing time, tallying 8.1 points, 3.6 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.7 steals, and 0.2 blocks per game over 22.2 minutes per contest in 2011. After concluding his third season in Charlotte, Brown embarked on an international career, playing professionally until the 2019-2020 season. His Charlotte Bobcats tenure concluded with 163 appearances, yielding averages of 5.3 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.7 assists, and 0.5 steals per contest.",
