Lorenzo Brown

After signing a contract with Minnesota in the middle of the 2014-15 season, Brown returns to battle for a roster spot for 2015-16. Last year in 29 games as a fill-in for the short-handed Timberwolves, Brown averaged 4.2 points, 2.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists, 1.0 steal, and 0.2 three-pointers in about 19 minutes per game. Brown's efficiency was not up to par, as he averaged 42 percent from the field, 21 percent from three-point-range, and 63 percent from the free-throw line. Brown's less-than-stellar on-court contributions are concerning, but further complicating matters for him is the way the depth chart seems stacked against him. At 6-5, he has the size to contribute at either guard spot, but he'll have to fight off Ricky Rubio, Tyus Jones, and Andre Miller, as well as Kevin Martin and Zach LaVine, in order to claim a role at either spot. Throw in the fact that Brown's contract is the only non-guaranteed one on the Timberwolves roster, making him a prime candidate to get cut during training camp, and it's tough to like much about Brown's fantasy prospects in 2015-16.

Brown, the 52nd overall pick in the 2013 NBA Draft, is physically impressive for an NBA point guard prospect, standing in at 6-5, 186. However, he is an average athlete and appeared to regress in some areas during his junior season at North Carolina State, in which he recorded 12.4 points (on 41.9 percent shooting), 7.2 dimes, 4.3 rebounds, and 2.0 steals in 34.2 minutes per outing. Considering how deep the T-Wolves are at point guard, Brown will more than likely toil in the NBA's D-League in his rookie year.
