    I like Jabari as well but I think Brooks is better on man defense and on switches. But the coaches got it right. They unlocked a new Bari that’s getting to his spots showing us his abilities.

    He also has shown he can get to the paint and also has a nice 12-15 ft post fadeaway shot. He worked on this shot a lot in the off-season

    Yeah agreed with the post above; he didn't have to do this. He didn't talk about it, but he was a good man to this fan/creator who shared it anyway. Grinding to improve yourself and giving back gets you good karma and blessings in return.

    Brooks won me over the second half of the season. I hope his hot shooting continues in the playoffs.

    He had a really great season. It's been a blast. Blows my mind that there are people that want to get rid of him. I think he's one of the most important players on the team.

    I agree. He's the guy on the court that set the example the most for what Udoka wanted the young's to be like. Without him we wouldn't have chip on our shoulder that we have. I'm a big Dillon Brooks fan.

    Brooks was great this season, no doubt about it. He kept his hero ball in check, hit his threes consistently good, even did some mid range damage. Turned out to be a really good signing.

    I just love this dude. Team has great chemistry in recent years and Dillon have been a corner piece that helped the transformation

    Lol, ever heard of trade chips?
    Could have net us a younger enforcer and players.

    Sorry to tell you guys but this is a marketing piece. Peter is an influencer himself.

    Regardless, Brooks is a very nice guy and a loved teammate. He's been excellent for us. The antics on the court are for the court only. He doesn't need the video to prove that.

    We need him to be the "Villain" again. This time he has back up.

    Oh? How about some examples of trades centering around Dillon that would make us better and net us a young enforcer too? I'll wait.

    Who overrates Bradley Beal other than that dumb Suns owner?
