The Rockets need the FIBA version of Dillon Brooks

FIBA World Cup

5 Group Games (1st and 2nd Group Stage) + Possible 3 Final Games (QF+SF+Big Final)

8 Games

Regular Season = Gruesome 82 Games -- I will take the NBA games.

Basically FIBA is Preseason plus couple Summer League games. At least he is staying fit.

 

FIBA Dilly > Olympic Melo

 

Yeah, a couple of preseason games with everything on the line to be world champs vs 82 regular season games where players bs most of the time and even fat Harden looks decent....

 

Factor in the Candadians are all his brethren from his AAU days and not some youngsters he has to babysit. Plus SGA is the clear superstar.

Barrett and Olynyk are the secondary options. The hierarchy is clear cut.

That is very different scenario.

 

If Brooks were on the Thunder, yeah, I would agree, he would do much better as his role is clear cut.

And Dort has to challenge him for a role.

The Thunder are basically the younger version of Canada plus Aussie Giddey and Chet the Holmgren.

(everything goes through SGA and he is blitzing teams with Giddey) (creating space for guys like Jalen Williams - Barrett or Brooks)

 

If Canada ends up facing USA in the finals its going to be thanks to Brooks, while SGA is the star Brooks is the one doing the heavy lifting. Brooks plays defense, how many star players dislike playing defense because it affects their offensive game? Brooks has shown to be able to do both very well when needed, if Brooks focuses on defense and holds his man down Canada wins and SGA will always be the news because he scored the most points. All the dumbs will flock to these threads to show Brooks only hit a couple of three's completely dismissing Brooks defense and gameplan.

 

those folks need more Severo in their lives

 

Okay, maybe not Summer League but the new format of the In Season tournament.

One game elimination instead of 7 Game Playoff Series.

I also did not say he cannot but basically in 80 games his efficiency is going down because no human can shoot 50% from 3 in 80 games.

Also he will feel his tired legs defensively in a long 80 game season.

What happened to your Jurassic Park avatar?

 

Harden need more flamingo in his life that has been riddled with Morey lies.

 

Nah, we will see Brooks best 3 years with The Rockets.... He will be fine, The Rockets are not deep but they have plenty of young guys Udoka will rely on to do the scoring. Brooks just needs to do what he is doing in Canada, lockdown his defender and hit big shots when his name is called.

One day I will have Jurassic Park back as my avatar, I got rid of it because I really enjoyed photoshopping Silas....

 

Okay, just weird, I only talked to @what about the Grizzlies before lmao.

I duly noted your new infatuation with Brooks albeit the oddity.

Again FVV and Brooks´ jobs are to develop the young guys.

I do not really care about either one of them. Make the ends meet. Only care about the end result.

We endured too much mediocrity already.

If Team Canada wins, I am content, I am a huge SGA observer.

 

If he keeps the dumb ish in check and knows when to make the smart pass (NO hero BALL), he will without a doubt, make a very good impact on this squad. He and VV.

 

Nephews really think Austin Reaves is a better player than this guy.

 

Yeah, we need a guy who shoots 58% from 3.

 

Need to play Bieber music for him. Canadian love.

 

The World also need new World Champions.

 

Those who really know ball know he could shoot 0% from 3 and we would still be lucky to have him for his defense and intensity(at a bargain too!). Dream only shot 20% from 3 and look where he took us!

 

Only the Pinoys and the Fakers.
