I think you are placing a lot of weight on his hand injury causing his poor play. I believe it's always dangerous to take a players best stretch of games and assume that's his norm, and that everything else is an aberration.
I do recognize that Brouwer had been relatively consistent in his career so I've got a wait and see attitude on how he plays this year. He might have hit a wall or he might rebound especially if an injury was the problem.
But honestly if the first 10 weeks is the best he can be, it's still not great. But it is OK I suppose.
