Following Potential 2018 Draftees

[Ferguson_Mellochill]

How is Troy Brown’s defense?

Above average for his age, but not elite. Quick guards can get by him. He can trail guys around picks and impact them. He can get in a wide stance and use his length to contain wings. Has potential though.

You need to lay off the helium. Ur gassing this kid up well beyond reason. There was once a vegas based poster here named vermin and we used to talk about Brown a handfull of years ago, i used to say he looked to have lottery talent, he was on the recruiting radar as a 5star player from a young age. He really flashed terrific vision /passing, beyond his years, in his mid teens. He projects as a jack of all trades, comparing him to players who are successful top scoring options in the nba is a gross mischaracterization.

His tools are as good as Hayward's and Butlers. He needs to develop them.

I see a path for Troy Brown to become comparable to Hayward or Jimmy Butler. That's a valuable player, a top 25 player potentially, but he has to shoot better and work on his lower body athleticism (core strength and explosion). It'll take a few solid years of development.

My god these comps lately.....

He's closer to Spencer Dinwiddie than those guys.

Eww. I thought you might say something like Rashad Vaughn...

All this Troy brown love is probably moot. Several mocks have him going before 21.

Several got him lasting to 21 tho too.

Former Donovan Mitchell HS teammate and stretch 4. His listed playing weight was 250 lbs this year, but he looks way skinnier in the shooting video. In a Wizards workout video he says he has dropped 25 lbs.

Can we break this down a bit further?

Oof. I just watched a bunch of Grayson Allen and I hate to say this but I'm on the GA train. I feel dirty.

Not bad... I think hawks would take Brown over KBD.

I wonder how Denver will trade 14 with faried for space... I don’t know that any teams currently have enough space... wonder if they agree and then execute in the new cap year when space opens up... draft night it won’t work imo.
