Charlie Brown Jr. Struggles in Summer League Stint
Thunder guard Charlie Brown Jr. struggled in the 2021 NBA Summer League.
On a non-guaranteed, multi-year deal with Oklahoma City, Brown Jr. struggled in all but one Summer League contest, providing decent defense but fighting to procure any offensive production.
Against the Pistons, he scored just two points on 1-for-8 shooting. Against New Orleans it was five points on 2-for-8 shooting and he shot just 2-for-7 and scored four points against Golden State.
In the fourth game against Indiana, he scored 2 points on 1-for-6 shooting.
In the fifth and final game against San Antonio, Brown Jr. had his best performance, scoring nine points while shooting 4-for-7 from the field.

Potential is there for Brown Jr., who averaged 12.5 points on 45 percent shooting in his last season in the G-League.
