Lakers reportedly agree to minimum deal with Troy Brown Jr.

The Lakers clearly have a clear intent on getting younger as they have reportedly agreed to a deal with Troy Brown Jr. The former first-round pick was not tendered a qualifying offer by the Chicago Bulls on Wednesday, making him an unrestricted free agent. Last season, the 6’6’’ Brown played 16 minutes per game across 66 games for the Bulls, starting seven of them. He averaged just 4.3 points per contest and shot 35.3% from beyond the 3-point line. That figure represents both a career-best mark for Brown, and one that is a tick below league average, signifying some of the struggles he’s had during his short career.

Brown is a career 33.7% 3-point shooter and has hit just 42.9% of his total field goals in four years in the league. Originally drafted by the Wizards with the No. 15 pick, Brown was part of a three-team deal that included seven players total between Washington, Boston and Chicago.
