Dillon Brooks was the missing piece during the Kevin Durant era. Now he's KD's replacement.
Phoenix Suns veteran Dillon Brooks is already proving to be everything the team needs—and the exact type of player they wish they'd had a season ago. A vocal leader in the locker room, competitive tone-setter in practice, and 3-and-D specialist in games, Brooks was the missing piece from the Bradley Beal, Devin Booker, and Kevin Durant era.
Unfortunately, the Suns got him a year too late—a truth they'll hope to reconcile with by building a brighter future with his leadership as a central piece of the puzzle.
