Troy Brown Jr. joins Lakers on minimum contract

Coming into this offseason, just about everyone agreed the Los Angeles Lakers needed to add multiple young, productive wings to their roster to become competitive again.

The team had been expected to compete for the NBA championship this past season, but due to injuries and its advanced age, it failed to even reach the play-in tournament.

On Thursday, the first day of free agency, the Lakers went ahead and signed  Troy Brown Jr, for the veteran minimum salary.

Brown is 22 years old, and he stands 6 feet, 6 inches and weighs 215 pounds. With a wingspan of nearly 7 feet, he is a decent athletic specimen.

He was a first-round draft pick in 2018. In four NBA seasons, he has averaged 6.4 points, 3.8 rebounds, 1.6 assists and 0.7 steals in 18.5 minutes per game.

This past season, he hit 35.3% of his 3-point attempts as a member of the Chicago Bulls.
