Detroit Pistons: 5 takeaways from 2018 NBA Summer League

2. Bruce Brown Jr. is the future at point guard

If he’s able to get his shot to start falling, Brown will quickly push for a prominent role in the rotation. He’s currently shooting only 29 percent, which is downright miserable. However, Jackson is not the most efficient on offense either. His career 43 percent shooting percentage leaves much to be desired from a player that works close to the basket.

In the team’s 64-59 win over the Minnesota Timberwolves, Brown stuffed the stat sheet. He totaled 15 points, 11 rebounds, six assists and five steals. His ability to get to the basket and break down the defense will be great for the offense. His ability to distribute the ball will also be greatly appreciated. With modern NBA point guards running rampant, defensive stalwarts like Brown are needed to slow these elite scorers down.

Jackson is only under contract for the next two seasons. This will give Brown the time required to develop into the team’s floor general of the future. While he may not develop into an All-NBA talent, he has the ceiling of a player that will be a two-way star. If he’s able to maintain this type of production moving forward, his future looks extremely bright for this team.
