Summary
After operating as an on-ball guard during the majority of his time with Detroit, the Nets utilized Brown differently this season, using him as a small-ball big. Brown has had a lot of success operating as the roll-man in pick-and-roll. His playmaking ability allows him to attack 4-on-3 situations out of the pick-and-roll, and he has nice touch on floaters. He is strong finishing at the rim through contact, and has some craftiness down there as well.
 
Brown didn't have as much success when James Harden was out of the lineup, as Harden may be the best passer in the NBA when it comes to hitting the roll man. Brown had  some big playoff moments for Brooklyn, even closing some games, and he should be able to turn that into a decent contract this summer. His new role could be valuable to a lot of teams, which could give him a lot of interested suitors.
 
Cap Considerations
Brown will be a restricted free agent with full Bird rights and a $2.1 million cap hold and Qualifying Offer. If a player has a smaller cap hold than his starting salary, his team can use cap space to sign-free agents before using Bird Rights to re-sign its own free agents. Since the Nets will not have cap room, Brown's cap hold will not play a factor.
 
Other teams will have multiple ways to sign Brown as even teams without cap space could possibly use either of the Non-Taxpayer MLE, Taxpayer MLE, or possibly even the Room MLE to sign him to an offer sheet. Due to the  Nets' high luxury tax bill, there's a chance Brown could be pulled away from Brooklyn without even a giving him a big offer sheet.
