    I hate watching this guy. He is unselfish, plays extremely hard, plays like a veteran and his scoring ability is damn near elite. Great size, solid rebounder, excellent shooter. He can postup or isolate off the dribble, and he has a nose for the ball.

    I may have to play some 2k12 to get my Lowry/Marshon/Chandler fix... :grin:

    He's comparing the aesthetics of their game. Marshon's jumpshot looks ridiculously similar to Kobe's. That is where your reading comprehension failed you.

    He is a clone of Jamal Crawford, not Kobe.

    Crawford is a much better ballhandler but Brooks a a true scorer much like Crawford.

    Never watched him play, picked him up in my fantasy team though cuz KMart's sucking ass

    Anyways, how come he doesn't get any assists, is he just not a good passer

    He should have a ton, but his teammates suck balls. He draws double teams and they can't knock down shots.

    Coming into the draft from watching his vids I thought he looked kinda like a poor man's Kobe x2 ( mainly because of his crafty ball fakes, post up ability, and VERY similar looking jumpers), but now I dare say he's a poor man's Kobe :)

    And he doesn't seem to be like Jamal Crawford either. He has legit basketball IQ and is a good and willing passer with good vision and understanding of the game.


    Man, why couldn't we have gotten a kid like this? (no offense to Morris or Parsons)

    he seems to be snapping in and out of a kobe impersonation as he plays...but he's got some good moves and seems interested in being a good player. Hopefully he figures out who Marshon Brooks is and makes the best of it.

    This kid was robbed. He definitely should have been a lottery pick. I had been saying it all along. He should have been #14.:rolleyes:

    From what I can gather from the Nets forums, some think he dribbles way too much, he's a poor defender, and makes the occasional bonehead, clumsy play. His offensive game looks nice though, and he seems efficient.
