Troy Brown has seldom heard his name called by Scott Brooks this season, but he played on Sunday afternoon against the Toronto Raptors.
In 10 minutes, including a few in the fourth quarter, Brown flashed his basketball IQ — one of the main reasons Washington’s brass became enamored with him as a prospect during the pre-draft process. Brown moved fluidly without the ball, as if he’s been a part of the rotation for months, finding himself open both inside and out.
Brooks, stubbornly so, has failed to find adequate minutes for Brown with the Wizards and the 15th pick has spent most of his time in the G-League.
