Brown managed 15 points (5-10 FG, 3-6 FT), 17 rebounds and four blocks during Thursday's win over Salt Lake City.
EDGE Analysis
Brown was a monster in the paint for the Blue during the season opener, as the center grabbed an astonishing number off the glass while also recording double figures offensively to mark a double-double. In 28 games played with the Blue last season, Brown averaged 11.3 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.7 assists.

Brown collected 15 points (5-10 FG, 5-8 3Pt, 0-1 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one steal and one block across 24 minutes during Friday's 134-125 G League loss to Rio Grande Valley.
EDGE Analysis
Brown enjoyed his most efficient night from beyond the arc since early January, hitting 62.5 percent of his attempts. The 28-year-old has continued to launch threes at a rate of 6.8 per game, hitting 42.0 percent on the season. Over 26 games this season, Brown is averaging 11.9 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.8 assists over 22.7 minutes per game.

Brown finished with three points (1-4 FG, 1-4 3Pt), two rebounds and two assists over 17 minutes during Saturday's 131-120 G League win over the Stockton Kings.
EDGE Analysis
After enjoying great success from deep during December and January, Brown's outstanding shooting efficiency has begun to fall off. Over his past five games, the 28-year-old has hit 30.2 percent of his field goals while shooting 24.3 percent from three-point range. Up until the recent five-game stretch, Brown had hit 43 of 87 attempts from deep. Given such a high and seemingly unsustainable rate, it appears some inevitable regression has finally hit Brown, though he still sits at 41.9 percent on the year from beyond the arc.

Brown registered 24 points (7-9 FG, 7-9 3Pt, 1-1 FT), five rebounds and two assists across 20 minutes during Friday's 120-97 G League win over Raptors 905.
EDGE Analysis
Brown's performances from deep have proven to be massive difference-makers for the Blue, as they've won four of nine contests since his return from injury. Brown provided one of his best outings to date Friday, hitting seven of nine threes to lead the Blue to victory with a plus-14 net rating. He'll continue to let them fly from deep, as he leads the team with an unreal 54.0 three-point percentage.

Brown posted 18 points (6-11 FG, 5-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT) and two rebounds across 20 minutes during Sunday's 112-89 G League win over the Skyforce.
EDGE Analysis
Since returning from an ankle injury that forced him to miss over a month to start the season, Brown has provided the Blue with three-point shooting they've desperately needed. In four games since his Dec. 20 return, the 27-year-old has gone 11-for-20 from beyond the arc. He's only attempted two field goals inside the arc, hitting both. Brown's main objective on the floor is to shoot, as evidenced by other areas of the stat sheet that largely remain bare. He's recorded just five rebounds and has yet to tally a single assist, rebound or steal.

Brown was waived by the Thunder of Friday, Maddie Lee of The Oklahoman reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown ultimately will not make OKC's final roster. However, there's a solid chance he ends up in the G League.

Brown agreed to a contract with the Thunder on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's likely that Brown's contract is for training camp, and he'll hope to make OKC's final roster. Brown played overseas in Turkey last season. He last played in 2017-18 for the Rockets, where he saw 7.8 minutes per game across four appearances.

Brown has agreed to a one-year contract with Darussafaka in Turkey, Michael Scotto of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Brown, the 44th overall pick in the 2014 Draft out of Oklahoma State, played just four games for the Rockets last season. He spent most of the year in the G-League, where he played for both the Oklahoma City Blue and the Rio Grande Valley Vipers, averaging 16.9 points on 45.2 percent shooting. In signing only a one-year deal, it seems likely Brown will be heading overseas to refine his skills, and then attempt to return to the NBA.
