OKC Thunder: Unearthing Moses Brown could hasten the rebuild – grades

OKC Thunder highlights for Moses Brown

In the fourth game back from the bubble, Brown had 20 points, 16 rebounds, and five blocks in the OKC Thunder’s loss against the Chicago Bulls. While he did foul out of the game, it was his first career double-double which is an incredible achievement for a player who was not on a full deal at the start of the season.

Two games later, Brown had his second double-double and it was meaningful production in the two-point win against the Houston Rockets. Brown would then record back-to-back double-doubles including a rare gem of 21 points and 23 rebounds.

This was the day before the Thunder signed Brown to a four-year deal which would have been the highlight of Brown’s season. He went into the year earning less than the NBA minimum and before the season ended he had a guaranteed deal.

Brown would end the season with 12 double-doubles in the 25 games that he played once he came back from the bubble. Brown almost had a triple-double in the final game of the season. He had 24 points, 18 rebounds, and seven blocks to go along with three assists in the win against the LA Clippers.

If he can put some more muscle on his frame, Brown could be a force in this league.
