There's a good chance Derrick Brown is the best player in the Atlantic-10. But yes, he needs to get more aggressive on offense. Part of that was due to the number of offensive options Xavier had this year -- Lavender, Duncan, Raymond, Anderson, Brown.
He's shown flashes of brilliance -- the baseline drive against UCLA where he got room for one step and exploded for a dunk. Hopefully he can do this more often.
I see him as a good candidate to run the pick-and-pop plays that Duncan and Lavender ran this year. If he can add a little more strength, I can see him playing an inside-outside game like Duncan, except at a much higher level of athleticism (and that's no knock on Duncan)
