You will see Brooks play some three. Hate to burst your bubble. I never said he would play the three entirely.T Jones and pj also played like Knox at times... from the 4 position. Whitney is our 3. Hate to burst your bubble
and when he plays the 3 ... it will be like lyles.... a 4 playing out of position when we go to a big lineup.You will see Brooks play some three. Hate to burst your bubble. I never said he would play the three entirely.
It’s possible the actual results could be similar but Brooks & Gabriel couldn’t be more different. Gabriel had some physical tools and was always hustling. His motor ran non-stop. Brooks has more skills than athleticism and motor and he’s physically limited. It’ll be interesting to see how he translates to college and it could take more than a year but I think he’ll end up being a really good college player if he makes the adjustment before leaving.i expect to see wenyen grabriel type year from brooks.

That doesn't matter. I just said he would play some three and you are not intelligent enough to recognize that possibility.and when he plays the 3 ... it will be like lyles.... a 4 playing out of position when we go to a big lineup.

You evidently can't read. I said Brooks said Cal told him he could use him like Kevin Knox. I never said he would use him that way. That was what Brooks said Cal told him.no you said he'd use him like Kevin Knox... Kevin Knox is a 3... started at the 3 and played the 3 all year. thats not the same as playing some 3
Brooks will be better than then Wenyen

Moving the goal posts are we? No one ever said he was a full time 3. How stupid can you be?Where's Whitney going to play his 35 mpg at then? are you dumb enough to think Whitney is a SG?
like I said originally......... Brooks isnt a 3......... he's a 4. even if brooks gets 2 minutes here and there at the 3 in a big lineup......... that doesnt mean he's a 3
Im sorry but LOL at the handles to play the 3......... guy has the handles to drive past big men...... not sf's. we went through this with Poythress and Gabriel......... I figured people would be able to tell how good of a ball handler and fast a guy has to be to drive on opposing SF's... because they are usually 6'4 , 6'5 guards playing the SF spot.
T Jones and pj also played like Knox at times... from the 4 position. Whitney is our 3. Hate to burst your bubble
Brooks is alot smaller than Lyles and imo laterally quicker.and when he plays the 3 ... it will be like lyles.... a 4 playing out of position when we go to a big lineup.
EJ’s a 4, no matter how you slice or dice it.I think Brooks ends up as our starting 4 man.
G Hagans (if he comes back) or Quickley
G Maxey

if you say so.EJ’s a 4, no matter how you slice or dice it.
A big wing (6-9) who combines good size and length with very nice athleticism. Versatility is also a strength. It is possible he spends some time as a shooting guard, and also could slide all the way down and be a stretch power forward. Has ability to naturally get buckets in the mid-range. Needs to continue to get stronger and work on his perimeter jumper. Should develop into a first-round NBA selection.there aint any 3 about it....... kids a face up 4 ......... .....but thankfully Whitney is our 3.
I think you should do yourself a favor and sit next year out. including posting on this board. We will let you know how it goes. Come to think of it, 20-21 ain't looking good either, take off a couple seasons. See you about about 2023This is why I think we are screwed next year no matter what. The only way we have a legit shot at a title is if pj and Keldon came back and that’s not happening. We weren’t able to make a FF this year and except for Maxey, the players we are bringing in aren’t as good as what we are losing. I just can’t get excited about next year.
I do not expect Brooks to play a single minute at the 5.He can play 5. Ideally 4 is his sweet spot
um didn't we go to the EE this year or was I dreaming?Hoping for another chance to get to the sweet sixteen

I don't see Brooks starting..To me, he will need time maybe 2- 3 year player. Reminds me of Darius Miller. He even runs like Miller with the stiff knees..I think Brooks ends up as our starting 4 man.

Very good point...,keep it simple as it usually is that simple.Brooks is a 4 and Whitney is a 3 sorry to burst your bubble on common sense bball knowledge!
I think so too. More versatile imo.Brooks will be better than then Wenyen
Brooks is not 6"9 from anywhere I've seen and hes got a wiry frame not as bulky as Lyles. Brooks probably 6"7A lot? Brooks is 6'9 and Lyles was 6'10
Look forward to seeing Brooks and Whitney playing together with Maxey on the same team in the Jordan Brand game April 20.
Oddly, the game won't be televised this year. It moved from Barclays Center to Las Vegas and for some reason ESPN isn't going to be able to televise it on any network. Would think ESPNU might show it--but nope. So we'll rely on media updates on the guys.
