A look at Troy Brown Jr.’s potential with the Lakers

New Lakers swingman Troy Brown Jr. has the ability to help the team off the bench if he continues to work on and improve his game.

The Los Angeles Lakers made some solid signings in free agency this summer, most notably centers Damian Jones and Thomas Bryant.

However, a couple of their other signings have been head-scratchers to a certain extent, and one of them is Troy Brown Jr.

Brown, a 6-foot-6, 215-pound swingman, was the 15th overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft. At first glance, his numbers with the Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls haven’t been the least bit impressive.

However, he showed some improvement this past season, and if he continues on that trajectory, he can become a useful player for the Purple and Gold.
