A versatile defender with flashes of point guard skills, Brown presents some intriguing upside for the Nuggets. In an offense that revolves around ball and player movement, he would fit seamlessly.
While not an explosive athlete, Brown has the frame needed to defend one through four in time. He’s also smart off the ball, bursting into passing lanes and kickstarting transition offense.
Improving his three-point shot will be big, but Brown gives the Nuggets another ball handler who can attack the lane and find open shooters off the dribble. He’s also an excellent cutter, something that brings inherent value next to Nikola Jokic and Paul Millsap.
