Days before last season’s NBA trade deadline, the Los Angeles Lakers made a deal to send sixth man Lou Williams to the Houston Rockets in exchange for veteran swingman Corey Brewer and the 28th pick in the draft.
While most of the focus was on the pick that the Lakers received (which was traded for the picks that became Josh Hart and Thomas Bryant on draft night), Brewer adds much-needed experience to a young Lakers team.
While Brewer’s NBA career has seen him primarily act as a role player, he starred in college at the University of Florida, where he helped bring home back-to-back NCAA Championships in 2006 and 2007.
