Just to follow up, I am not a Lakers fan so I didn't watch them much. When I did, DFS looked better at the POA than Brooks. Brooks's best attribute in my opinion was keeping Sengun out of actions (i.e., guarding whoever the other team wanted to use as a screen). Just seemed like Brooks forced his way on the ballhandler more via switches, but DFS's arms were more bothersome when on a guy. DFS's arms also cause off ball problems for offenses. Maybe, I am judging DFS on too much of a small sample and he's declined more than I've noticed.
