PG/SG. Miami. player. 69. Scouting Report. Bruce Brown Jr.. 18. Pick Analysis

Brown is having an odd and disappointing season, but I still like his chances as a prospect. At 6-foot-5 with long arms and plenty of athleticism, he should be able to defend multiple positions while finding a nice niche as a comboguard at the next level.

New Orleans could be a decent spot for Brown. Most of his scoring comes from spot-up jumpers and cuts, so working off of DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis would have it’s benefits. He’s also capable of handling the ball and iniating the offense, so working alongside another capable playmaker in Jrue Holiday (or Rajon Rondo) would give the Pels options.

Averaging just 11.5 points and shooting 29.4 percent from deep, Brown has struggled a lot this season. Still, based on his flashes this season and what we saw last year, Brown should get some top-20 love.
