2. Dillon Brooks Has Flown Under the Radar

The main talents on the Memphis Grizzlies that get their fair share of recognition are mainly Ja Morant, Jaren Jackson Jr., and even Brandon Clarke at times. However, many seem to overlook Dillon Brooks.

The leading scorer during the Grizzlies’ winning streak has actually been Brooks. In fact, he has averaged an impressive 21.1 points per game while shooting 47.5% from deep on 8.4 attempts per game.

From a bigger picture perspective, Brooks has started to be perhaps the ultimate X factor for their success. The Grizzlies are 13-0 when he scores at least 20 points this season. He is proving to be an integral component of their scoring hierarchy translating to success.

It’s fascinating to think about what Brooks could earn as a free agent in the open market this summer. With the way he has played, there should be no shortage of suitors for his services.
