Troy Brown Jr. was Oregon’s do-it-all freshman wing with real two-way juice
In the 2017-18 season, Troy Brown Jr. started all 35 games for Oregon and averaged 11.3 points, 6.2 rebounds, 3.2 assists and 1.6 steals, a stat line that screams versatile connector rather than pure scorer.[1][3] He was a 6-foot-7 forward with strong playmaking instincts, rebounding pop and defensive playmaking, and his one-and-done path to the 2018 NBA Draft underscores how highly evaluators valued his size, feel and upside.[1][3][4] If a team wants a long, multi-skilled wing who can facilitate, defend and compete, he’s the kind of player who fits almost anywhere—though he was never a volume shooter and needed polish from deep.[3][8]
