TJ Warren and 4 other players making a name for themselves in Orlando

Troy Brown Jr. (Washington Wizards)
Without John Wall or Bradley Beal accompanying them into the NBA’s restart, the Washington Wizards had little hope for a playoff push. Although they have lost all four of their seeding games thus far, sophomore guard Troy Brown Jr. has made a strong impression with the team’s depleted depth.
Over their four consecutive loss, Brown averaged 16 points per game on 44.4 percent field goal shooting, but an abysmal 18.8 percent 3-point shooting. The 21-year-old also hauled in 6.5 rebounds and dished out 5.2 assists per game. Without their two All-Star guards, Brown has taken advantage of his increased opportunity, as the second-year guard spent most of the season as a reserve, averaging 10 points per game.
With a spontaneous turnaround unlikely, Brown’s impressive run in the restart will likely come to a close after the team plays their upcoming eighth and final seeding game. Although it could end rather short-lived, the guard certainly made an impression with the minutes increase from the Washington Wizards.
Hopefully, with likely four games to go, Troy Brown can keep pace with his recent play and continue to turn heads in his direction. Given his eye-catching numbers, the second-year-guard has begun to make a name for himself in this league at a young age for the Wizards.
