The Phoenix Suns are getting exactly what they bargained for when they acquired Dillon Brooks: grit, toughness, exhaustive defense, some moderate to heavy-moderate trolling, sunglasses-on-indoors fits, and elite-level self-creation.
Wait, what?!
Okay, so it turns out the Suns are getting more than they could have expected from Brooks, one of the key players they landed as part of the Kevin Durant trade. Entering games on Wednesday, November 26, the 29-year-old ranks seventh in efficiency on self-created shots, according to BBall Index.
Just to put into context what this means, here are all the players who place ahead of him: Brandon Ingram (first), Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (second), Donovan Mitchell (third), Nikola Jokic (fourth), Austin Reaves (fifth), and Luka Doncic (sixth).
