    Probably a solid starting PG or a great PG. I go with solid starting PG.

    Aaron Brooks will always be a solid Point Guard. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I like the distribution of the voting as it is very centered around the mean. Brooks is a starting PG. He can be great when he has a mismatch. He can be horrible when teams try to take him out of the game first.

    I go with solid PG

    great speed and shooter still has a lot of difficulty figuring out passing angles when in the paint (for a guy his size that is)

    a ceiling for him is tony parker with a better jumper (which would be AWESOME imo)

    Somewhere in between solid starter and solid backup. I put solid starter because I consider him a top 20 PG, but I do think on a great team he would be better served as a bench player. On this team he needs to be the starter.

    solid as far as scoring but has very mediocre ball handling, IQ, and passing for a starting PG.

    Say what? Last time i checked, Brooks could dribble the ball like a pro, so crazy and so fast, that he almost
    looks like he's doing kung-fu or something...

    He is a solid PG but he is still young so there is plenty of time to become a great PG. We will just have to wait and see.

    he is a solid pg, but still has to play more consistent. he mixes moments of brilliance, and struggles at times also.

    He's a starter, no doubt. If he works hard and has the right pieces around him (including a star player) He can be a serous threat like Moe Williams.

    He is solid, he has potential to be great though. I voted solid for now.

    To me, he's a solid scorer/basketball player in general, but not in a traditional point guard sense. The only reason he is playing point is due to his height.

    He is good at scoring and doing it within the team, but "point guard" is just a label for him, so I'd hesitate to call him a great "point guard".
