“Dillon Brooks is a great breakout candidate because the narrative around him got so out of control last year,” an NBA executive told HoopsHype. “As we saw in the World Cup, he’s an elite defensive player who is a good offensive player. He doesn’t have to change at all, but now that he’s a name that’s on the radar, people will suddenly realize what he really is.”

Rockets’ Dillon Brooks fined $25,000 for ‘reckless’ hit to Daniel Theis’ groin. The first game checks of the season haven’t even dropped and Brooks owes the league.
