The Los Angeles Lakers are on the right track to leave behind most of their struggles at the beginning of the season, even when LeBron James and Mo Bamba are out due to injuries.

With a great Anthony Davis back and Troy Brown Jr. giving some fantastic performances, the team has been able to get some wins that are getting them in the right direction to be at the moment in a Play-In spot and the chance to keep climbing for a playoff spot.

Troy Brown Jr. wasn't giving the best performances, but coach Ham gave him the opportunity, and the Forward started to deliver; he recently spoke about working on his shots. Still, now he has said his excellent level is thanks to his teammates.

As for what has helped get him going in these last few games, Brown pointed to his Lakers teammates. "Honestly, I give that to my teammates. They've been passing me the ball on time and target, and for me, I feel like that's why they brought me here – to spread the floor and give them a dynamic player that does a lot. So being able to knock down 3s and take pressure off of them and space the floor so they can get to the basket helps."

Austin Reaves thinks Troy Brown Jr. has been better than what fans think

Brown's performance has certainly not gone unnoticed by his teammates, and guard Austin Reaves made sure to shout out his teammate and give him the credit he believes Brown deserves. "I don't think he gets the credit he deserves, honestly," Reaves said. “You know, because you look at stats, and the stats don't jump out at you. … Always usually chasing around the team's best player. Rebounds the ball well, and then the confidence shooting the ball. He's a very, very capable shooter and shoots it well. We've seen that since the summer when we were playing pickup.”
