I see him as the Collins replacement.
If CMY was telling Collins to accept a lesser role next season, that is the role he would have in mind for a player like Brown Jr. I hope Brown Jr. can provide enough offense to make up for defense lost as he will likely be a downgrade in Collins’ defense at this stage of his development. But, hopefully in that lesser role as a rotational piece rather than a starter. He does appear to be more of a pure shooter than Collins, and is 6’6”, with a wing span of 6’10” so would seem to have a higher ceiling. Unfortunately that upside doesn’t translate for us as his developer if we assume he leaves again after one season to colllect on his new worth. In this new game of money and transfers you can only assume one year for any player on your team now.

Comp for Rodney Brown is Maddox with a less hitchy jumpshot.

Better shooter than Collins, likely better defense than Nickle. More....

I think he’s a decent pick up, like his length and shooting.

Defensive metrics in bball don’t always tell the story because it’s hard
