He's the anti-Nick Young, or Swaggless-P. Bizarro world Nick. Hopeful in his contributions to the team and has a high BBQ and motor. He should make us forget the traumatic memories of Wesley Johnson soon enough.
Big fan of this pick by Mitch! If he selected Brown with 27 and Nance with 34 I think there would be less noise. Either way, we got someone that I think could be a better shooting version of Ariza. Ariza had 2-3in more in wingspan/reach tho DX shows a better max vertical for Brown.
I'll give Mitch the benefit of the doubt on the Nance pick. I preferred RJ Hunter, Looney or Christmas. Nance is an athletic freak so I'll glad to be wrong. _________________ Alltime lineup: Magic | Kobe | MJ | Hakeem | KAJ
Much calmer in this interview. I think the "deer in the headlights" was just the massive media presence in the Press Conf. He seems like grounded, humble kid. Mitch seems to do thorough job on the background check on character on these guys (save for 1 tweet). _________________ Alltime lineup: Magic | Kobe | MJ | Hakeem | KAJ

I don't think Brown is anywhere near the athlete that Ariza is/was. He doesn't have to be though. He just needs to knock down open 3s, minimize mistakes and hold his own on D. Seems like he's more than capable.

I hope he comes with corn on the cob and baked potatos too.
Anybody who wants us to waste 5+ million on athletic 3&d wings in free agency needs to read the writing on the wall with this pick. This kid is 23 and shot over 44% from 3 multiple years in a row. He IS Danny Green. _________________ You are either in or on your way to the NBA Finals.

That Stanford education really shines through when he speaks.
And I lol'd when he said his friends ran out the house when they called his name in the draft. I recall 2 moments when I did that: Fisher's 0.4 shot, and game 7 when we beat the Celtics. I literally ran out the room in excitement. But hearing your name called when your favorite team is up in the draft? Can only imagine how that must've felt.

He can be. But he needs some experience first. Why not bring in the real Danny Green to show him the ropes and be available to contribute immediately?

Mitch Kupchak calls Anthony Brown “one of the better shooters in the draft”
Quote:
Kupchak fell in love with Brown’s versatility and his 44.1 percent from three-point range in the past two seasons, leaving Kupchak to imagine great things on how that will translate on his own team.
“We consider him one of the better shooters in the draft,” Kupchak said of Brown. “We think he can play multiple positions with shooting guard, small forward and is versatile enough to bring the ball up the floor with some pressure.”
Not a bad pick for a 2nd round... but the best shooter in the draft is probably gonna be DEVIN BOOKER picked no.13 by Phx.. that boy's stroke and confidence is money.
Lakers Draft 2015: Anthony Brown's dream comes true with the Lakers
"For me growing up as a Lakers fan it's surreal to me," Brown said of being selected by the team he grew up rooting for. A lot of players claim to have been fans of whatever team they are selected by, but Brown established his long-time fan credentials when he name dropped the station Lakers games used to be broadcast on before their current deal with Time Warner Cable Sportsnet. "I can remember watching the games on KCAL9," Brown said, while specifically mentioning the Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant led victory over Allen Iverson's Philadelphia 76ers in 2001 as a highlight.
How does his shooting compare to RJ Hunter, supposedly one of the best shooters in the draft and picked right after Nance? _________________ We only celebrate championships.
"...there was a time when the Israelites were wandering in the desert and all of a sudden, bread came down from heaven,” Pelinka said. “That’s kind of what today feels like for us to have KCP join.”

The thing about RJ Hunter is that his percentages suck, and he's mostly known for his shooting. 30% from the college 3 is terrible.
Yeah I have done almost zero research into Hunter but those stats really surprised me. I thought he was supposed to be a pure shooter lol _________________ Kobe
