2018 NBA Mock Draft: Luka Doncic could accelerate the Hawks’ rebuild
. G/F. Miami. bruce brown. 20. player. 89
Somehow, we’re back to the two Miami play-makers being taken back to back, though several picks lower than they would have hoped early this season. That’s what happens when the Hurricanes lose two straight conference games to ranked opponents.
Brown has had an awful sophomore season from most angles. He is shooting just 41 percent from the field, rarely gets to the line and has ceded most of the ball-handling duties to Lonnie Walker in recent games. After just 11 points in his last two games, it’s reasonable to wonder whether Brown might be better served in a secondary role behind Walker for the rest of the year.
Initially, he was supposed to be an initiator for the Hurricanes, especially in transition. If he can return to that role this year or in the NBA, the Bucks could have an interesting player on their hands as well as a great fit. Brown is capable of handling the ball and defending multiple positions.
