Last offseason, the Lakers placed a focus on getting younger, quicker and more athletic. Troy Brown Jr. was a symbol of that, a young wing that didn’t have things work out for him at his previous stops and was looking for a chance to prove himself in Los Angeles.
The Lakers were betting low on Brown with a veteran’s minimum contract and he certainly produced well above his worth. Brown featured in 76 games in the regular season to go with a dozen playoff games, that alone proving him to be valuable enough for his deal.
