One of the most curious cases in the Lakers was Troy Brown Jr., who had to step up when LeBron James got injured, and the Forward did great, but once James returned, Brown Jr.'s role not only diminished but his performance as well.

Brown Jr. spoke on how his performance was affected by the changes in the roster. "It was a really long year," Brown admitted. "We basically had two different teams, so just me trying to figure out my role in different spots. Early on in the year, I was playing more of the four. Kind of more in that dunker area, so I definitely added some of that to my game. But just being able to stretch the floor and be a defender."

"Yeah, for sure. I felt like Darvin and Rob let me play a little bit more. I definitely got to show more of my passing side of things, and even then, letting initiate on plays and just bring the ball up the court and just show that side or like rebound and bring the ball up for fastbreaks and stuff. Definitely feel like that was shown, but I still want to capitalize on that a little more this summer." Said Brown Jr.

It seems that Pelinka has decided to give another shot to the Forward for next season; still, nothing is set in stone, and Brown Jr. could get traded, but for the moment, it seems that he will be staying in LA for at least the start of the next campaign. This shakes the fans and the team, as only some have loved Troy's performances.

Troy Brown Jr. had a conversation with Darvin Ham and Pelinka

"We had a good conversation. We just talked over the season and basically summarized everything. Just talk about things that they want me to work on this summer and just talk about overall how the year went. It was a really long year, and I definitely had my moments and definitely sometimes where I wasn't there. And just talking about where I can pick up and where I can be better. It definitely was a good conversation, and I felt good going out of it, so it was very progressive." Said Troy Brown Jr.
