Golden State Warriors select Troy Brown Jr. in 2018 FanSided Mock Draft

Weaknesses

On the other hand, free throw shooting is one of the many indicators we use to help determine whether a player has a good shooting touch, and Brown’s 74.3 percent from the line is less than satisfactory.

Unlike some NBA pundits, I have no particular issue with his mechanics, but I think it’d help if he retooled his shot as a much more fluid single-motion j, rather than a two-motion catapult. If not, then working on a midrange pull-up jumper would be the next best thing.

Many of the aforementioned mock drafts also make note of Brown’s lack of a first step and overall explosiveness, but I don’t see that as being a problem as long as he tightens up his ball handling.

The main thing is his shooting: if Brown is unable to knock down wide open jumpers at the NBA level, it could prove problematic for the Warriors if they’re unable to pick up a second unit floor spacer in free agency.
