Brown, an excellent shooter in college who knocked down 46 percent of his three point attempts as a senior, has struggled with his consistency on the offensive end. Though he has been touted as a coveted three-and-D wing, Brown hasn’t lived up to his offensive potential.

And his looks haven’t been terrible, either; his shooting has simply been sub-par.

Hopefully, Brown is merely going through a shooting slump—in which case he should be much better, considering that this is his second go-around in the Summer League and that he played all four seasons in college.

As mentioned, however, players like Brown will always have a shot at making a team considering his defensive upside.

To Brown’s credit, he held shooting phenom Buddy Hield to a 5-20 performance from the field and has been a staple on that end of the floor. Now all that is up for the Lakers’ youngster is to figure out his perimeter stroke. If he can make that happen, he’s yet another young gem for the future in LA.
