Aaron Brooks Has Been Underappreciated

[Mech Engineer]

He should be the one taking bail out shots when he plays with Derrick which he does. But, he is a little crazy.

Actually, I like his defense for his size compared to DJ. He is feisty and will get better on defense as the season goes on. He is not scared to mix it up and that's what helps on defense sometimes.Remember, Jason Terry and Jason Kidd were playing defense on Lebron in 2011 finals....it's all about the attitude sometimes.

If we're gonna take 20+ 3-pointers a game, we need to see a lot more of this:



The guy can block too:

Per 36 minutes he's playing identically to Rose.

Rose per 36
21.9 ppg 5.6 apg 3.7 rpg 0.7 spg 3.9 TOV 6.7 3PA

Brooks per 36
20.1 ppg 5.0 apg 3.2 rpg 1.1 spg 3.2 TOV 6.0 3PA

I think he's my favorite vet min 6'0 shooter off the bench of the ones we've signed. I hope we keep this one. (But i know we won't so we can pay Hinrich).

Well, there is a difference, PER36 Brooks is taking 4.4 shots less than Rose(15.7 shots vs Rose's 20.1 shots).
