People looking at Troy Brown as a prospect saying "he won't be good because he didn't score at Oregon", to me, are looking at all the wrong things.
Brown has a LOT of qualities that you can't coach - length, court vision, great handle (okay you can probably coach that one, but his handles are rare for a wing). But to me, the thing that was most intriguing about him was the way he responded in games where he wasn't scoring well. A lot of kids coming out of the AAU circuit would jack up 40 shots to get their #s or pout... Brown focused on the little things -- he got aggressive on the glass, doubled down on his defensive intensity, looked to get his teammates open shots -- that's veteran stuff from a much-hyped (but at least mildly disappointing) 19 year old kid.
I don't know if he'll ever live up to his 5* pedigree, but he's certainly athletic enough for the scoring to come. He's far from a finished product, but I don't think it's outlandish to say that he, probably as much as anyone else that would left when we're picking, has the highest potential to be a star/quality starter in this league.
We could certainly do a lot worse...
