The thing with Brook is you can’t tell if the problem is Griffin, age or the new shiny contract. You can’t change age or contract, so I hope it’s Griffin. Maybe his struggles is an opportunity to talk Giannis into spending more time at C.
I’m worried less about the SG spot. Beasley might keep his hot shooting, MarJon could take a leap, Pat is possible to show up when it matters, AJJ is already showing flashes. Something will work.
Brook has looked more than a bit frustrated at times on defense.
It's an awkward fit for the D but he still got 7 blocks against the Raps.
He got seven blocks because they finally played a contain and funnel D for the first two quarters and most of the third. And they were up 30 (somewhat due to three point variance but the Bucks were getting wide open threes for everyone, including good shooters in the corners, and the Raptors were getting more roughly contested twos and above the break/off the dribble threes).
He’s extremely useful in that system and it also protects Dame/Beas/Pat from getting too exposed.
They can still play aggressive man when he is off the floor.
