NBA Comparison: Earl Boykins

Matthew Maurer – 2/18/2007

Strengths: Brooks is an above average athlete with great quickness Shifty ball handler capable of getting separation with fakes and stutter steps Perimeter shooting has improved greatly this year in consistency and confidence Is a capable three point shooter, off the dribble or with his feet set Good ball handler who likes to have his man play him for the drive then pull up for the mid-range jumper Explosive scorer who can reel off big points in a hurry Defensively he does a solid job of using his lateral quickness to disrupt passing lanes Leadership has emerged this year as he wants the ball in crucial moments of a game Great rebounder for his position Good passer when driving in the lane where he dishes off to open teammates Possesses good fundamentals and a good basketball IQ enabling him to make quality decisions on the court Excellent free throw shooter Great in the open court where he uses his quickness to finish with ease Clutch player who has hit a number of game winners this season …

Weakness: Slight build and his size of 5-11 could make him easy for NBA guards to out muscle him or a post up target Despite being a point guard, Brooks lacks the qualities that most NBA teams look for in that position Still doesnt control the tempo very well and possesses just average court vision Gets almost single minded in that he doesnt look to get teammates involved in the offense Seems to favor going to the right side of the basket. Should work on getting more comfortable on the left side of the court Often he will cut left then cross back to the right side of the basket Can get out of control on his drives when attacking the basket Shot selection has improved greatly this year but he is still prone to launching up questionable shots from time to time Tends to pick up fouls on defense as he has a tendency to reach
