When the Washington Wizards drafted Troy Brown Jr. with the 15th pick of the 2018 NBA Draft, there were very mixed feelings. Not necessarily because of Brown himself but because of some of the other players still on the board. Names like Zhaire Smith, Lonnie Walker, and Robert Williams were highly-touted and still on the board when the Wizards surprisingly selected Brown.
Very quickly, though, Brown showed why the Wizards took him so high, showcasing his “do-it-all” skillset during the 2018 Summer League games. It wasn’t long before Brown showed he can handle the ball, rebound well, and slash to the hoop with authority.
