The already PG heavy Raptors are signing reigning G League MVP Lorenzo Brown to a 1-year deal, per @ShamsCharania. Can never have too many ball handlers, especially with how Toronto wants to play, and Brown impressed at both levels last year.

Brown has had 5 tours in the G-Leauge, and 4 partial stints in the NBA. We aren’t sure of the exact details of the contract, but it doesn’t look like it’s a 2-way contract.
In 107 career games played in the G-League over the past 5 seasons, Brown has averaged 18.5 points, 6.3 assists and 5.4 rebounds per game. In 77 career games in the NBA, Brown has averaged 3 points, 2 assists and 2 rebounds in an average of 12.6 minutes played.
This past season, Brown was the MVP of the G-League with the 905 Raptors.
