I like Troy Brown but thought he was extremely raw and would’ve benefited from staying in college but the talent is there. What’s your NBA comparison?

More athletic, way better defensive (he's a very good defender now), (and eventually) a better shooting Evan Turner.

Reminds me of Will Barton. Will couldn’t shoot much coming into the league.

I want nothing in life to be true more than I want the Kings picking Porter at 2 to be true.
If this happens, it reminds me of the Stauskas thing from a few years back.

Because he’s young and has a pretty long wingspan (sounds like someone on our team). In all seriousness for a kid who started playing at 15 he’s farther along then he should be.
frank has a translatable elite skill when he came into the league. Knox while there is potential what is really good at?
He runs around screens really well. I'd consider that a skill. Aside from that, it's all hit or miss banking on potential.

I have my issues with him (transition turnovers), makes odd decisions on pass v drive, and can't shoot well yet...but love the playmaking, I think he'll be able to develop that jumper long term, and the turnovers can be cut down (just looks tentative). I don't see a star, but I think he's got a safe floor as a role player for sure.

Will always seemed out of control, though. Real herky jerky and a better athlete (so different movement patterns) and Brown as the better playmaker. I don't see it that much, to be honest. I'm sorry, haha.

how is that bold...its mad obvious he is...his main knock is only his shot really.
Seems like people like Knox more. I don’t. I guess that’s the bold part? Also had the question mark in there because I’m not sure how bold it is.
He’s also a turnover machine in transition.
Brown is less the athlete and his scoring potential is not as high imo, plus he played for oregon so most never saw him which i think plays a part. I remember there was a time dude would not even get a highlight on youtube.
I agree Knox makes more noise in here and on most mock drafts, But skill wise TBJ is much better than Knox.
