Dillon Brooks has emerged as a key player for the Houston Rockets, boasting a career-best 39.7% shooting from beyond the arc this season, alongside an impressive six attempts per game. His contributions have helped propel the Rockets to a remarkable 52-30 record, elevating them to second place in the Western Conference. Teammate Jock Landale has praised Brooks as one of the best teammates he’s ever had, highlighting his intensity and ability to set the tone for the team.

As a defensive enforcer, Brooks is integral to a Rockets squad that has ranked among the top five in defensive performance this year. His hard-nosed approach not only uplifts teammates but also plays a pivotal role in mentoring the younger players on the roster. With two years remaining on his contract at just over $20 million annually, Brooks’ presence is expected to continue driving Houston’s success in the coming seasons.
