Bruce Brown

Brown has established himself as one of the most unique guards in the NBA over the past two seasons. He was used more traditionally during his first two years in Detroit, but after heading to Brooklyn, he became a pick-and-roll guard primarily. He also spent time in the dunker's spot for easy dump-off passes and offensive rebounds. Brown possessed those roles despite standing just 6-foot-5. He's also shown to be a quality defender (1.8 combined steals-plus-blocks in 24.6 MPG) and has some three-point potential, shooting 88-for-249 (35.3%) over the past three years. That combination has kept him on the court as a versatile, multi-position option. The Nets opted to let Brown walk in free agency, and he signed a contract with the Nuggets over the summer. Brown figures to play a similar role with Denver, and he could form some reverse pick-and-roll combinations with Nikola Jokic as the ballhandler. Brown ranked 149th in per-game production last season behind 9.0 points on 50.6 FG%, 4.8 rebounds and 2.1 assists. It seems possible, if not likely, that he'll find himself seeing a similar workload, and a similar usage rate would make sense given that his unique skillset meshes perfectly with Jokic's playstyle. With that in mind, Brown is more of a late-round option in deep leagues, but he does have standard-league upside and will probably end up being a solid streaming option when the Nuggets have four-game weeks.
