Last season Bruce Brown showed more than you’d expect from a second-round pick. But at the end of the day, he was just a guy.
The onus for him this season is to go from “just a guy” to “a guy you need.”
And he certainly has the potential to be that. In the season tune-up series for Brown, I brought up Stanley Johnson - and in a lot of ways, Bruce can be what we always hoped for in Stanley. Or, going back even further — Kentavious Caldwell-Pope.
They bring many of the same virtues to the court.
