Jordan Brown and James Akinjo are 1A and 1B—and also roommates
Much like the way Zeke Nnaji and Nico Mannion made a strong impression early last season, Jordan Brown and James Akinjo appear next in line as Arizona’s next high-scoring duo.
On Friday, Brown became just the fifth player of the Miller era to record a double-double in his debut, joining the likes of Ryan Anderson, Deandre Ayton, Chase Jeter and Aaron Gordon.
