Brooks stuffs the sheet & is arguably our best playmaker overall. He’s led us in assists several times even when having a “bad” night.
Draymond style is his most valuable role.
The PJ return leap is ambitious, but i could absolutely see, and expect, something at least *somewhat* similar, and he will have an extry 1/2 year.
Their overall game & skill set aren’t much different overall, PJ was just obviously much better at the end of his soph year. But he also played Starter minutes his entire 2 years without missing a half season on a historically awful team.
Brooks hasn’t played starter minutes since he arrived. I don’t think he will ever be as good, here or NBA, but as a Jr or even Sr he could have a similar impact on this team.
