Expert Analysis
Duvalier Johnson | Prep Hoops Scout
Brooks has the size that immediately standout and he’s a traditional big man who is a two-way standout. Brooks was blocking shot son the block, not allowing easy baskets at the rim, and getting his hands on many plays. He also had a few rebounds that he grabbed and went right up with it, boards that he tipped out to teammates, and kept plays alive. Brooks is starting to see the offense catch up as he had a few drop-offs on the block when he quickly made moves, spun off of it, and had a few baskets. Legend is going to use him a lot more this upcoming season, and he should have plenty of eyes on him this season. Big day for him at MSU camp.

Brooks is a rare Colorado player as he’s a 7-footer with intriguing upside. He continues to show steady progression with each outing, and it was only a matter of time until we got eyes on him. Well, he’s popped as he moves well for his size and brings coordination that allows him to impact both ends of the floor. Brooks uses his length to rebound and finish inside while flashing defensive instincts as a rim protector. He’s still developing physically and skill-wise, but the trajectory is clear. He’s a long-term prospect whose growth and tools make him a name to monitor closely, as he can go in as one of the state’s best very soon.

With Brooks’ height and skillset, playing for B&B is going to do wonders for his ceiling. He’s coached hard and told how to play the right way, and this weekend, you certainly saw flashes of what he could be. He kept the ball high, he felt contact and spun off of defenders, and went up strong and finished through contact at times, and that is big for him. He was catching the ball on the block and delivering for his team offensively while still being a defensive game-changer. His length stands out, and it is now all starting to come together for him. Excited to see how his game comes along, but he stood out on the weekend.
