Ronnie Brewer (born March 20, 1985) is an American former professional basketball player and currently an assistant coach. Brewer played collegiately at the University of Arkansas, where his father Ron Brewer was a star in the late 1970s. Brewer is known for having an unorthodox shooting technique, the result of a childhood water slide injury. [1]
The Utah Jazz selected him with the 14th pick of the 2006 NBA draft.
Brewer played at Arkansas from 2003 to 2006 where he averaged 18.4 points, 4.8 rebounds, 3.3 assists, 2.6 steals, and 0.5 blocks. He also was 51–151 from three-point range and shot 75% from the free-throw line.

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. [4]
On July 19, 2010, Brewer signed with the Chicago Bulls. [5] 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.
On July 10, 2012, the Bulls declined Brewer's option for the next season, along with teammate C.J. Watson's option. [6]
On July 25, 2012, Brewer signed with the New York Knicks. [7]
