Lorenzo Brown

Lorenzo Brown was one of many young players to get a brief taste of life in the NBA thanks to the Philadelphia 76ers’ policy of “tanking” last season. Although he spent more time in the D-League between the Delaware 87er’s and the Springfield Armor than he actually did in the NBA, Brown is skilled, and did show some signs of promise.

The 24-year-old is a capable ball-handler who can knock down a jump shot if required, but is equally comfortable driving to the rim for an acrobatic layup or dunk. A solid player during his time in college at NC State, any decision the Pistons make in regards to Brown may not be basketball based. With Brown having recently failed a physical that would have seen him play in Italy this season, question marks over his health remain at the forefront.
