Brooks has enjoyed an impressive start to the 2023-24 season with his new team. The native of Mississauga, Ont., is averaging 16.3 points per game on a blistering 59.3 per cent from the field, 56.5 per cent from three-point range and 93.8 per cent from the free-throw line through six games.
"And then defensively, just being able to be on bigger guys and go to ball and disrupt some things there. It’s always a luxury to have a guy like that." With VanVleet and Jalen Green, the No. 2 overall pick in 2021, drawing more of the attention, Udoka has drawn up sets for Brooks to attack mismatches against smaller defenders.
"Jabari had the first half, then Dillon just made the hustle plays and effort plays and obviously hit a few threes late but he kind of stemmed the tide there until we got it rolling again." The Mississauga, Ont., native is averaging career highs in points , field-goal percentage , three-point percentage and free-throw percentage . While it's only been five games — he missed two due to a knee injury — he's made his presence felt.
The sophomore guard from London, Ont., scored 26 of his 29 points in the second half of a 110-101 comeback win over Detroit on Nov. 1.
