Troy Brown Jr.

College: Oregon
Position: Shooting Guard
Class: Freshman
Height: 6’7
Weight: 215 lbs.

First of all, Troy Brown is one of the more highly-touted freshman prospects in their entire country.

According to Jonathan Wasserman of Bleacher Report, Brown would be a great fit for the Oklahoma City Thunder.

What makes Brown standout is his overall versatility. Not only does the freshman have the ability to score the basketball, but he also a very good passer and rebounder. Consequently, he is an above-average playmaker, and consistently impacts the game on the defensive side of the ball.

With Oregon graduating three of their key players from last season, Brown should have a chance to make an impact right away. Brown might not have the prototypical explosiveness that scouts look for, he could still find himself as a lottery pick if he lives up to his potential this season.
