My Take
Dillon Brooks is one of those players you love to hate — unless he's on your team, in which case you absolutely love him. The Canadian forward out of Mississauga carved out a reputation as the NBA's premier agitator, the guy who will bark at LeBron James, get under everyone's skin, and then back it up with a clutch bucket. He went from a second-round pick out of Oregon — where he was the Pac-12 Player of the Year in 2017 — to becoming a centerpiece of the Memphis Grizzlies' gritty, young identity, before landing with the Houston Rockets and eventually the Phoenix Suns. He's not a superstar, but he plays with superstar-level confidence, which is either his best quality or most infuriating trait depending on which bench you're sitting on.
