Dillon Brooks had a fantastic rookie campaign. He was one of the few bright spots in what was one of the Grizzlies worst seasons ever.
He averaged 11 points and three rebounds per game while starting in 74 of the 82 games the team played in. It wasn’t ideal circumstances but the second-round pick was able to show what he was made of in a big way.
Despite some great play in his rookie season, he was not selected to either of the all-rookie teams. He was very deserving but playing on a bad small market team really hurt his chances.
