EDGE Analysis

Making his third start in a row in place of the injured Brandon Ingram (knee), Brewer was able to top double figures in the scoring column for the first time in those contests, but that's probably the extent of his upside. As a veteran on a rebuilding team, Brewer won't stand to see his playing time pick up much even if Ingram is forced to miss additional contests. Coach Luke Walton has chosen to lean more heavily on younger bench players like David Nwaba, Tyler Ennis and Larry Nance to help cover for Ingram's absence.
