Dillon Brooks redemption arc is fascinating and could not have been written any better than is currently playing out with the 6-3 Rockets and 2-9 Grizz.
The man took all the criticism and hate and worked on it quietly.
I’ll be the first to admit I thought dude was an absolute clown and absolutely hated the signing as a Rockets fan. But he has taken all the remarks about him not being an efficient scorer and flipped it completely on its head. On the defensive end he is the spark plug that gets the entire team going. If you didn’t watch Rockets basketball last year it was just a bunch of highly skilled offensive players who looked to be a high flying exciting team that put up points, and at times the quickest way to get the ball back was slack on defensive.
The way Dillon locks in on defense each time down the court makes the whole team excel, its a difference you can see in the box score AND on film. He is a big time difference maker and one of the pick ups of the season.
Crazy clickbait title here lol
And as it seems very intentional that the last name was omitted, seeing as every other post made lists a players full name.
