2018 NBA Draft: 5 potential busts

5. Troy Brown Jr.(No. 15) — Washington Wizards

Oregon forward Troy Brown Jr. was selected No. 15 overall by the Washington Wizards. Brown averaged 11.2 points, 6.2 rebounds and 3.2 assists per game on 44.4 percent shooting from the field in college.

Brown uses his 6’7″ height and 6’11″ wingspan to make plays on the defensive end. Thomas Tittley writes:

"“He will also be a valuable defender at the NBA level, able to guard two and maybe even three positions. On defense he is extremely physical and plays with an edge, often getting over screens through sheer determination. He reads the game well, jumping passing lanes and digging in as a help defender. Brown also showed his ability as a one-on-one defender. He was in the 87th percentile as an isolation defender and almost always forced his opponent into taking a tough shot.”"

Despite his solid all-around play and defensive versatility, Brown Jr. could be a major bust for the Wizards. His ball-handling and jump shot are underwhelming, to say the least, and he shot 29.1 percent from 3-point land.

More importantly, Brown just doesn’t fit on the Wizards’ roster. Bradley Beal, Otto Porter Jr. and Kelly Oubre Jr. are all ahead of him on the depth chart and fill the same role as him. All three have much more polished offensive games, and Brown won’t be able to play opposite of point guard John Wall because neither can shoot.

Unless Troy Brown Jr. gets traded, he’ll be a major bust for the Wizards and will end up wasting away on the bench.
