Brooks moves up eight spots in our updated rankings and continues to establish himself as a productive, well rounded prospect. He is a capable three-level scorer with good strength and a high basketball IQ, allowing him to impact the game in a variety of ways. Brooks is an effective finisher in the paint who uses his physicality well around the basket. He also rebounds at a high level from the perimeter, consistently using his strength, instincts and activity to impact the glass.

Brooks was impressive for Evergreen Christian during the June live period. The rising junior can score at all three levels, has good strength and knows how to play. He really rebounds from the perimeter and is an effective finisher in the paint. Expect him to move up our updated 2028 rankings in the coming weeks.

Helping lead a perimeter-heavy 16U group that’s had a good deal of success this spring and summer, Brooks stood out with his ability to scale up and down the lineup on either end of the floor. He was consistently around the ball whether coming over to make plays in help defense, pushing in transition to speed up the tempo, or crashing the glass to create an extra possession. Brooks also showed nice functional athleticism as a finisher around the cup. We’ll look to see him in a different setting to see more of how he looks at his natural position, but his ability to get in where he fit in while making an impact on winning was impressive.

Brooks is an all around tweener who does a nice job impacting the game in different facets. He has a nose for coming up with rebounds and always seems to be in the proper places on the floor to secure them. Brooks showed he can be a complimentary ball handler and shows flashes as a facilitator. He has no issue getting in the mix and can play bigger than his size. Brooks does a good job getting into the paint off the bounce and defenders struggle to keep him in front of them. Looking forward to monitoring his progress.
