Wiz vs. Long Lions 10/12/18

[queridiculo]

Not a gamethread up here, Troy Brown doesn't have much of a jumper, but his court vision and passing is quite impressive.

No game thread up.

Although this is a pointless scrimmage, the team is looking really good after a lackluster defensive effort in the 1st quarter. Troy Brown is basically a pure PG. The guy has great vision and is picking apart the Long-Lions.

It's nice to see that Bryant has recovered from that ankle injury.

Overall, this China team is not NBA caliber. Even Jason Smith is absolutely abusing them with superior size and athleticism.

It was a one-point game after the first quarter but now Washington has outscored them by 22 points in the 2nd quarter.

[nate33]

That's the second pass that Thomas Bryant dropped. He has hands like Mahinmi.

hahahah Gooden comparing Brown JR to Evan Turner like its a good thing

[nate33]

I'm starting to worry about Oubre. I know he had anxiety issues last year that may have impacted his 3-point shot over the 2nd half of the season. It doesn't appear to have improved. Oubre can't hit a three and I think it might be getting in his head.

[NatP4]

what???? Troy Brown Jr made a jumpshot????? impossible

It was a nice looking shot.

I don't understand why some people can hit from midrange but have no aptitude for a 3-point shot whatsoever.

[NatP4]

obligatory: Troy Brown is good and should play

[nate33]

He really kinda does though.

He is so similar to Evan Turner, just gotta hope that he can develop Sato like offensive efficiency without being a volume shooter, and become a good defender (which Turner never was)

[nate33]

If Otto Porter played 36 minutes at this pace, he'd finish with 50 points on 18 shots.

Mahinmi and Porter looking great.

[NatP4]

there is something to be said for Oubre and Brown playing alongside each other and Brown clearly looking like the better player on both ends of the court.

[youngWizzy]

Troy has some Lance Stephenson in him.

Just based on college stats

POINTS TRB AST STL BLK 3P%
Troy Brown 11.3 6.2 3.2 1.6 0.2 0.29
Lance 12.3 5.4 2.5 0.9 0.2 0.22

[NatP4]

I think Evan Turner with a 3pt shot and good defensively would've been a good NBA player, I think that is what Brown Jr will be. Already has the good defense part.

[youngWizzy]

Last preseason Jodie Meeks really made me think he was going to be a good player. Didnt know he could play in the preseason.

[youngWizzy]

I can't give Troy much credit just because this is the Guangzhao Lions the Wizards are playing.

[NatP4]

3 on 1 and Devin Robinson stops everyone by himself. lol

[NatP4]

if only Devin Robinson rebounded and had lateral quickness on defense.
