Dillon Brooks decided to forgo his senior season and enter the 2017 NBA Draft. Brooks has enough to offer that he will certainly get a look from a number of teams as a second round prospect.

Brooks has a nice offensive game, as he can score in a variety of ways. He is effective around the rim, on drives and he developed into a good three-point shooter at the college level.

Dillon Brooks found success in one-on-one situations at Oregon, which will bode well for him if he can use those skills to create shots in the NBA.

Defensively, Brooks struggled against Pac-12 competition. He didn’t perform well as an individual or a team defender, which will be a major concern since he’ll be going up against even better athletes in the NBA.

Dillon Brooks has very short arms, and he is not an explosive athlete. He does not rebound well, even when playing close to the hoop. He is a fiery competitor — which can be both a blessing and a curse.

Brooks is a skilled offensive player, but he lacks the athletic ability and defensive instincts to take full advantage of his skill set in the NBA. He may be able to carve out a niche as a second unit player, but his potential doesn’t seem to go very far beyond that.
