Dillon Brooks is a damn culture changer. Ott seems to be a pretty good coach but Brooks’s tenacity and hard-nosed play is rubbing off on the rest of the roster.

There’s a lot of revisionist history when it comes to his time in Memphis as he was extremely inefficient to the point where it was detrimental to their offense and playoff ceiling

However, he was a scapegoat for their issues

It’s a credit to him for improving in Houston and become a legitimate efficient 3&D wing and carrying that over to Phoenix

that’s fair. he took some terrible shots in memphis.

May I ask how Dillon was a scapegoat for our issues? Also, what issues? Our biggest issue as a team is that we’ve been ridiculously injured ever since Dillon left. Hell, the injury curse probably started even before that with Steven Adams and Brandon Clarke getting hurt before the playoffs.

It’s one of the issues, but not the only one. There’s the off-court stuff, lack of effort, bad chemistry, poor development… There are some bright spots (Edey, for one) but the Grizzlies have a few things to sort out

It’s only easy to say that in hindsight. The fact of that matter is that Dillon was never going to be this better version of himself had he stayed in Memphis. As great of a human being as Jenkins was, he wasn’t the kind of hard-nosed coach that Dillon truly needed. Udoka reeled him in, and now he’s shining. I’m genuinely happy for him.

He shined even before he got to Houston.

The offseason immediately after yall fired/scapegoated him for losing to the Lakers in the playoffs, he played for Team Canada. He was one of the most important players when they beat the US, and he won best defensive player of the entire tournament.

erichama | Grizzlies

I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that. It’s not that he didn’t shine before, but he’s shining even brighter now.

He was always a stellar defender, but he was a very streaky offensive player for us. One day he’d look like Kobe, and then the next he’d shoot us out of a game. I loved how well he played for Team Canada, but Udoka definitely reeled in his shot selection once he got to Houston. He’s a much more consistent player now.

Also, how was he scapegoated?

We just play such complete team basketball now. No matter who is out there, everybody is with the program. Everyone dives for loose balls and plays as hard as they can and communicates. Weve weathered a ton of injuries and the product on the court is the same regardless. Coach ott was such a godsend

collin gillespie is an awesome story. and he’s playing such good ball, that he’s gonna be more than an awesome story. can see him in the nba for a while. surprised denver just let him rot on the bench all this time

From what I’ve been seeing, they had either Pickett or Watson (idk which one) on a guaranteed contract while Colin on a 2 way. Some comments were saying Malone preferred playing Colin.

Colin signed for the suns last season, but Bud had Tyus as the starter (and tbf he was making shots). Colin got playtime but he was still in the process of figuring things out. Not to mention the inconsistent minutes.

So yep a good story for him

To add some context, Colin was obviously very good in his minutes last year, and his per 36 stats bear that out. He also has always absolutely dominated the G League afaik.

It’s a great story for him, but it’s really kinda puzzling that it’s taken him this long to find minutes given what he was showing.

I’ve been thinking Brooks is the MVP for the suns, but in the last games Colin has been very impactful. These two legit the best performers for the team. Booker has been in a slump, but still easily important

Mark Williams gradually showing more and more how important he is as well.

Book’s gravity is insane. Almost everytime he gets into halfcourt, they just insta double him. Hence he’s having rough games right now.

I’m actually excited once we can play Book, Jalen, and Brooks together, would ease off some pressure out of Book.

Low key it’s Mark Williams. Our entire play style is predicated on taking a million shots and making up the difference with extra possessions through rebounds and steals
