SG/SF. Oregon. Troy Brown. 14. player. 73.

Brown is a perfect fit in the Nuggets’ motion-heavy system. His 3-point shot was a little inconsistent in his one season at Oregon, but assuming he makes strides in that department, he should be one of the best wings in this class.

At 6-7 with long arms and a solid frame, Brown is capable of defending three or four positions. He’s also a diverse offensive talent, capable of handling the ball and acting as the facilitator on occasion.

The Nuggets need as much perimeter defense as they can get with Jokic’s well-noted weaknesses on that side of the ball. Brown has the potential to help them in that department while presenting some appealing upside on the other end as well.
