Knicks: Brett Brown Calls Tony Wroten Mini-LeBron

The New York Knicks made a quietly intriguing acquisition on March 16, 2016, when Phil Jackson signed Tony Wroten to a two-year deal. It was an upside move with minimal financial ramifications and the long-term value to justify the multi-season gamble.

Word has been relatively mum on Wroten since his acquisition, but if you ask his former coach, New York made one heck of a signing.

Despite the Philadelphia 76ers’ eternal tanking, Brett Brown is widely regarded as one of the best basketball minds in the NBA. He worked for the San Antonio Spurs from 2002 to 2013, making his name as both an assistant coach and the director of player development.
