8. Troy Brown Jr., Washington Wizards

Forward Troy Brown Jr. was a breath of fresh air on the Washington Wizards’ Summer League squad out in Las Vegas. The Wizards went 1-4 during their time in Vegas, but it didn’t stop Brown from showing what he can do.

The 6’7″ wing produced 18.4 points, 6.8 rebounds, 2.0 assists and 1.4 steals per contest through their five games. He shot 43 percent from the field (37-for-87) and 3-for-19 (15.8 percent) from 3-point range. His lack of touch behind the arc is a cause for concern given the rotation ahead of him.

Devin Robinson certainly did his fair share to earn himself some minutes in 2018-19. Brown’s best bet may be playing option No. 1 for the Wizards’ new G League squad, the Capital City GoGo. It may do him some good to get acclimated to life in the NBA in that manner.

Development may help him as the NBA leans towards becoming a more 3-point friendly league. He has the versatility to get to the rim and stretch the floor as long as he develops an outside shot.
