I just think he will struggle against bigger schools. I was big on Brooks as a freshman and even as a sophomore but he has not progressed like i thought. Think they would be better playing small most of the time. Especially with their switching defense

Back to back double doubles, despite competition that's good productivity

Brooks has issues backing one average defender down for a score. Let alone an above average D1 player with above average help D ready to pounce. Clark could back down one guy and make another defender commit to determine if he wanted to pass the ball or keep going to the hoop. Washington rarely gave up the opportunity to score and was still hard to defend when the D knew he was taking the shot.

Our bigs aren’t good at either. I will be happy with controlling boards and defending the rim and scoring 8 easy points in the flow of the game. Under no circumstances can we put the ball in their hands in crucial situations.

If I'm the opposing team & know I really only have to defend 3 guys in a crucial situation, it makes my job pretty simple.
