Brooks really needs to improve his shooting efficiency. He's pretty good at rebounding, passing, and finishing at his role.
For sure thats part of the next step for him. With the improved playmaking elsewhere he should get his fair share of good looks so hopefully his shooting numbers improve as a side effect. Hopefully his jumper has lost the little hitch in it too

People keep forgetting about Hopkins. I think he could end up being our best "big". Very versatile and skilled, with some muscle.

Im hopeful. He is well rounded but just needs to take even a small step in certain areas to be a really good college player. I think at the least hes a plus rebounder w a decent 15 foot and in game. he’ll have to earn his minutes though bc if its a position that is pretty deep and versatile
Brooks needs to do basically two things:

1. Tighten up his handle. He needs to be able to handle a bit away from the basket.

2. Improve his shooting efficiency. He doesn’t need to take a ton of shots on this team, but he needs to make open shots when he gets them. He is already good at scoring off putbacks and lobs, he doesn’t have to hunt his shot he just has to make open jumpers when he gets the opportunity.
