Draymond Green with more praise for Suns Dillon Brooks
With Brooks now with the Suns after a stint with the Houston Rockets he has previously shown that in addition to being a defensive pest, he can also be a threat on the offensive end. With Cousins ​​comparing Brooks to Green, Marcus Smart and even Dennis Rodman, Green would say he needs more than one first-team All-Defense; he still checks the squares made by other players.
“My take on that list is that it only has one defensive team,” Green said. “So you’d like to see that list continue to grow, but regardless, I think he’s your value-play guy. I think he’s the heart of your team. I think he’s a guy that’s going to mix things up. And that’s why I’m not mad that Boogie put Dillon Brooks in that category.”
It remains to be seen what honors Brooks will receive this season.
