This workout is a lot more interesting. More competition based drills, higher intensity.
This is coming from the guy who went on a rant about how Hayward sucked because of how long it took him to develop and how you woudlnt want to draft a player like that at 21?A majority of teams don't care about the length of the project as long as the project is worth it.
Who are the teams with good G-League infrastructure? I bet there are some that are picking 22 to 35-40 that would pick him.Who knows. There are enough decent prospects in that 20-30 range teams might not want the huge project and just go for the more known commodities. If you aren't a team with a well integrated G-League system, are you going to draft him?
I dont know. I'm not sure exactly how I would quantify that.Who are the teams with good G-League infrastructure? I bet there are some that are picking 22 to 35-40 that would pick him.
Really? I like his release. I think it just needs some reps and fine tuning, but it looks good and has a high release. He looks pretty built already. Definitely the kind of forward you can see playing in the 225-230 range that is needed to compete with the big time forwards in the NBA. He looks a lot more athletic than what he tested on his dunks. It must be his huge hands that lets him really **** the ball back on his dunks.There a ton of lounging around in those workouts.
Troy Brown just went through his shooting drill... I cannot pinpoint what's wrong with his shot... there is something funky about it. It looks alright at first sight, but the more I watch him the more I don't feel comfortable with it. Might have something to do with him missing a lot of those.
I don't know. I'm no shot doctor and I really cannot pinpoint what the problem is(maybe it's just in my head because of me knowing he's not been great shooting the ball in college). I just don't feel like it's going in when he launches it. Like for example when Huerter shoots I feel like it's going in every time, it looks smooth and seamless and compact.Really?

Well yeah, it's not where close to as nice as Huerter's, but he is way bigger than Huerter. He is basically the ideal wing size and he can playmake. His shot isnt great, but it isnt broken by any means. With his release I can see him becoming a good shooter eventually.I don't know.

How do you feel about his athleticism and ability to guard on the wing? Or multiple positions? For what it's worth I love his playmaking and overall skill and floor game. I'm just not sure he's much more athletic than Kyle Anderson for example, who had similar strengths and weaknesses.Well yeah, it's not where close to as nice as Huerter's, but he is way bigger than Huerter.

He definitely looks a lot more athletic than Anderson. I know he tested poor athletically, but he seems more athletic than his testing numbers. His combination of skill and size just make him a tough pass if he last to 21. Not saying he would necessarily be my first pick there, but he'd be a hard look for sure.How do you feel about his athleticism and ability to guard on the wing? Or multiple positions?

I mean, I addressed that in the post....Troy Brown? How does he look remotely athletic?

I don't see his athleticism either. He just got blocked effortlessly on a drive by some random dude with no NBA future or athleticism. He's probably a bit more athletic than Kyle Anderson but not by a lot IMO.His highlights are wildly unimpressive. It's three point shooting and attempts to drive but since he can't get past anyone (in college mind you), he always reverts to stopping for some sort of a baby hook, or floater, or something off the glass. He literally had no dunks or even drives to where he can get to the rim because he's so unexplosive. If I'm a wing in the NBA, I guard him tight as ****. His shooting is shaky and he won't be able to get by the defender.
Anyone remember Hayward's athleticism and shooting stroke when he came into the league? Brown Jr. is ahead of that, imo, and he's still only 19.
The thing that's great about Brown is his floor vision, home-run passing, and subtle timing in making plays. He's got instincts that a lot of wings don't have.
I've been looking for guys that combine length with real ball skills. I think Brown Jr. can do it.

Yeah, I wish he were 6'9" and I wish he had a 38" max vertical, but were drafting outside the lottery here.
