While the Oregon men tip off for the first time tonight at home against Fresno State, a few former Oregon basketball players have already been playing for a few weeks in the NBA. Former Duck perimeters players Dillon Brooks and Troy Brown Jr. have each carved out nice roles on NBA rosters this season.

Brooks is in his third year with the Memphis Grizzlies. After missing all but 18 games of the 2018-19 season due to injury, the former Pac-12 Player of the Year has started all six games at shooting guard this season in Memphis. He's scored in double-figures in three of the last four, including a 21-point outing in the team's win over Brooklyn on Oct. 27. He's also scored in double figures the past two games. He scored 16 points in a loss to Phoenix and 17 in a loss to Houston.

For the season, Brooks is averaging 12.5 points per game, 4.0 rebounds and 1.3 steals per game. He had been shooting at 45.0-percent clip from three before going 0-for-7 against the Rockets.

While Brown Jr. isn't starting with the Washington Wizards, the second-year player and former 15th overall pick, has scored in double figures in two of three games as a key piece off the bench for Washington. On Monday night, Brown posted his first career double-double. He scored 14 points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 31 minutes in the team's win over Detroit.

For the season, Brown is averaging 10.7 points per game, 6.0 rebounds per game and 2.0 steals per game.

Jordan Bell hasn't quite enjoyed the same success with his new team. The former Golden State Warrior is now with the Minnesota Timberwolves. He's come off the benched and averaged 10.8 minutes per game in four appearances. He did have a strong game on Monday night when he scored 12 points, grabbed six rebounds and also had three assists. He's averaging 5.8 points per game to go with 4.8 rebounds. He's made 9-of-13 field goals this season.

Chris Boucher has not carved out quite as big of a role on the reigning champion Toronto Raptors. He's scored just four point in four games, and is averaging 4.3 minutes per contest.

Rookies Bol Bol, Louis King and Kenny Wooten have yet to make NBA debuts.
