2018 NBA Draft: Lake Show Life Mock Draft 1.0
89. . Guard/Forward. Oregon. Troy Brown. 17. player
After making the playoffs last season and just coming up short in the first round, the Milwaukee Bucks will be looking to add some talent to play alongside their star, Giannis Antetokounmpo.
The Bucks like to have players that can play multiple positions, and at 6’7” with a great wingspan, Brown can certainly do that and play multiple positions. In the NBA, being able to switch and defend multiple positions has become extremely important on the defensive end, and Brown has the size to do that.
At Oregon, Brown was a solid defender, as he averaged 1.6 steals per game. In his freshman season, Brown was able to fill up the stat sheet pretty nicely, as he averaged 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, and 3.2 assists per game.
While Brown had a nice season, his offensive skill set does cause some concern. Brown shot below 30 percent from three-point range, and his jump shot percentage leaves a lot to be desired. If his shot doesn’t improve a considerable amount, Brown might have a bit of a tough learning curve coming into the NBA. Even though he attacks the basket nicely, teams will force him to beat them with his jumper until he proves he can.
