Lawrence Frank has to be speechless. He treated Kobe Brown as a salary filler and did not think twice about including him in the Ivica Zubac package to the Indiana Pacers. Well, right before Frank’s eyes, Brown has emerged as a valuable asset for the Pacers, proving he should have never been traded; he is just the young piece the LA Clippers need.
In seven games with the Pacers, Brown is averaging 9.4 points and 7.0 rebounds, shooting 46.3% from the field and 40.0% from beyond the arc. He has done this in 27.1 minutes per game, which is quite impressive.
