There are plenty of stories in the NBA like Lorenzo Brown. When you look at the small pool of NBA superstars and compare that to the size of the rest of NBA’s basketball fraternity trying to become NBA superstars, you can start to appreciate the grind. And even at the superstar level there are tiers: Hall of Fame, elite, coasters, middle-rung and sixth-man. Earning a foot-in-the-door through a menial bench role takes time and luck to accomplish. Brown, a starting Raptors 905 point guard and G-League MVP last year, will head into the 2018-19 season as the fourth-rung guard behind Kyle Lowry, Delon Wright, and Fred Vanvleet.
