Brown Jr. Goes to Washington in the First Round
BROOKLYN, N.Y. – Troy Brown Jr. became Oregon's highest draft pick in 14 years when he was selected 15th overall by the Washington Wizards in the first round of the 2018 NBA Draft.
The first one-and-done player ever at Oregon also became the first career first round draft pick for coach Dana Altman, who has now sent five UO players to the NBA in the last four years.
Brown Jr. is the highest Duck selected since Luke Jackson went 10th to Cleveland in 2004.
Before Thursday, Oregon's last first round selection was Aaron Brooks, who went 26th to Houston in 2007.
Brown Jr. is the 51st NBA Draft pick in UO history, and the 12th first-rounder produced by the Ducks.
