Scouting Journals for Durral Brooks

Durral Brooks is a physical guard with good length. At 6-1/6-2, he uses a crafty change of pace to touch the paint. While he lacks top end burst he plays with confidence and his head up. Brooks can absorb contact in the paint, getting his body into the defender and creating angles. Needs to tighten the jump shot, become more consistent there, which will open up his entire game. He gives effort on defense, guarding the ball and the passing lanes. He is best defending the ball in the half court rather than the open floor and at his best, with the ball, when he is able to get into the paint. A good passer in traffic, and in the pick and roll.
