Dillon Brooks: Gorgeous transformation from 3D to ball-handling forward, the X factor of the Suns’ five-game winning streak

Winning five consecutive victories is indispensable! Dillon Brooks scored 32 points, 1 rebound and 1 steal in the game against the Pacers. In the past four games, he averaged 28 minutes per game, averaging 21 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.8 assists and 1.3 steals. The field goal percentage was 51.0%, the three-point shooting percentage was 37.5%, the free throw percentage was 92.0%, and the true shooting percentage was 67.7%. This data is really exaggerated! You know, he only averaged 14 points per game last year, but when he came to the Suns, he transformed and became the main guard.

As a 3D player, his three-pointers are not very accurate, but they can help Booker open up space.

In addition to 3D (three-pointers and defense), what he has improved this season is his ability to hold the ball. People can see a different Dillon Brooks

Holding the ball and throwing. Before I talk about this, he also had such skills

Dribbling and shooting, turning over and turning over for a mid-range shot These skills that he has basically not shown in the previous seasons, this season you seem to be able to see some ball-holding forwards in him, which opens up new ideas for the team's position battle. In addition to Booker's ball-holding point, Brooks can also assume a little role in holding the ball and dribbling.

After Durant and Beal were traded away in the offseason, the team's only ball carrier and leading player was Booker. At the beginning of the season, no one looked at the Suns and thought they would go straight into the rebuilding phase and dive into last place in the Western Conference. But in the past 10 games since the start of the season, they have made an amazing start, with 8 wins and 5 losses, ranking 7th in the Western Conference.

The recent 5-game winning streak has something to do with the coach's coaching style: they began to work hard on defense, averaging 10.1 steals per game, ranking fourth in the league; they also focused on three-pointers, averaging 16 three-pointers per game, and their three-point shooting rate of 38.5% was among the top 10 in the league.

How far the Suns go this season may affect the logic of team building.
