Swapping Troy Brown Jr. for Daniel Gafford was a clear win for Tommy Sheppard and the Washington Wizards. Brown had shown some promise in his second season but backslid horrifically the following season.
Brown bounced back to the “useful reserve” level last season with the Chicago Bulls and will now try to resurrect his career with Lebron James and the Los Angeles Lakers. Gafford meanwhile immediately played the best basketball of his career, which he topped last season.
It was never entirely clear why the Bulls dumped Gafford other than the well-worn “fell out of favor” trope.
