OFFICIAL TROYS OF THE NBA POWER RANKINGS
1. Troy Brown Junior. Before this game, I wouldn’t have been able to decisively place TBJ in the number one spot, but now I am making the determination decisively and authoritatively: Troy Brown Jr. is the best Troy in the game right now. No other current Troy could ever hope to put up as well-rounded a game as TBJ had: 26 points, 9 rebounds, 7 assists. That’s kind of close to a trippy-dubby. The Khris Middleton comparisons that I keep illogically making are now slightly less illogical.
2. Troy Daniels. I have some nostalgia for this guy because of the three-point shooting exhibitions he’s put on for various teams over the years, but let’s be real: there’s no way he would ever come close to getting a trippy-dubby. Not even close. His career high in assists is two, and guess what his career high in rebounds is. Just guess.
That’s right. One.

3. Troy Williams. He’s not really in the league right now but he was last year, so you know that he’s still on the free-agent radars of at least one or two NBA teams. Williams flashed some scoring potential at each of his short stops in the NBA (Grizzlies, Rockets, Knicks, and Kings) but apparently not enough that another team wanted to give him another shot.
4. Troy Caupain. This is where I look up Troy Caupain on basketball-reference and pretend to know anything about him even though I’m typing this right now and can’t think of what team he was on last season. I want to say Orlando Magic. But I’m also maybe getting him confused with Axel Toupane.
