With his first NBA season just ahead of him, former Oregon forward Troy Brown Jr. is getting his first taste of the pros and so far he looks to be settling in comfortably.
On Friday Brown played fairly well in the Washington Wizard’s loss to the Cleveland Cavaliers, tallying 13 points and 4 rebounds, and Sunday he kicked it into another gear against the San Antonio Spurs with 21 points, 12 rebounds, and 3 steals.
Brown’s first-round draft status in June was mainly a result of scouts and coaches seeing a strong potential upside for the young forward rather than superstardom while at Oregon.
