Bruce Brown has been a revelation this season for the Brooklyn Nets. Of that, we can be sure. How’d it happen? With a big dose of help from ... James Harden.
The Nets came out of the Draft Night deal for Brown like bandits. Acquiring him from the Detroit Pistons for bench player Dzanan Musa and a second round pick (that wasn’t even theirs), was indeed a steal, seeing as Brown is in the midst of a breakout season.
His role has literally been flipped on its head. Once a full-time point guard with the Pistons, Brown has become a pseudo-center in Brooklyn, going from 1 to 5 in a flash.
