3 Washington Wizards who could be secret weapons in Orlando

Secret Weapon: Troy Brown Jr

One guy who doesn’t get enough credit, by Wizards fans and at large, is Troy Brown Jr. One reason is because it’s hard to pinpoint exactly what Brown is best at on the court. He seems most comfortable, and most productive, as a facilitator. However, the Wizards seem committed to making him a three and D wing, although his outside shot needs to improve for him to really excel there.

While there might be some confusion about where Brown can be most productive, there’s no debating that Brown is productive. And luckily for the Wizards, Brown is productive all over the court.

While Isaac Bonga’s impact is felt primarily on the defensive end, and Garrison Mathews is a shooting savant, Brown can do a little bit of everything. His trainer, Joe Abunassar, aptly described him as a swiss army knife.

He’s one of the team’s best rebounders, can shoot respectably from outside (34.5 percent this season), is unselfish, and is a strong on-ball defender. Now, just put it all together.

There are times when you can see Brown’s potential, but his play has been consistently inconsistent since he was drafted in 2018. He won’t turn 21 until July 2020, so there is still a lot of room for development. It’s unrealistic to expect he comes to Orlando having figured everything out, but if he could have a few performances in Orlando like the ones he had against New York and Denver, the Wizards could steal the wins they need to be a playoff team.
