Since Troy Brown is a wing player who can’t shoot threes very well at all, but has an acceptable midrange game, it shouldn’t take much of your brainpower to figure out what low-effort comparison I’m about to make between this guy and an all-time great.
That’s right. Dwyane Wade.
How far off-base am I? I’ve made an honest evaluation of this comparison and I don’t think I’m off-base at all. 25 points is an amount of points that Wade would regularly score in his prime, and, here’s the thing, Brown isn’t even in his prime yet. Plus, he’s not roiding as far as I can tell. Wade had roid juice seeping out of his eye sockets from the very first time he stepped on the NBA hardwood, that’s how top-to-bottom and start-to-end roided he was for his entire career.
Luckily for Bradley Beal, it seems like Scott Brooks prefers to play Brown at the small forward position (going so far as to start Isaiah Thomas and Gary Payton together rather than start Brown at shooting guard), so Beal’s position on the team is safe. For now. But I’m thinking that Beal, upon his return, is not going to be taking fifty bajillion shots per game like he was at the beginning of the season, because these Wizards role-players have shown that they deserve a share of those fifty bajillion shots. A significant share.
