ROSTER TALK: Mavs favs for Vogel if no HC job exists. Kyrie handshake deal?

[ItsGoTime]

Don´t think the comparisation works. Both are still comfortably ahead of Brooks when it comes to key scoring efficiency numbers like TS% or PPP. Margin for Levert is smaller (~2% TS) but he is also a better playmaker. THJ is simply a way better shooter (with a similar chucker mentality). Even before he joined the Mavs he had 1 1/2 seasons with the Hawks that are levels above the best version of Brooks when it comes to shooting percentages.

Found an article that says it way better than I ever could. With a spot on prediction for the postseason.

There is a lot to like when it comes to his defense and hustle. But on offense he combines a "Kobe" mentality with Frank Nitilikina level shot making ability.
I am not completly out on the idea if he signs for the BAE and accepts a smaller role on offense. But that goes against everything Brooks stated in the last couple of month. He wants a bigger role and a big contract.

I think the comparison I made with Levert is still just fine (rechecked shooting stats on BB-Ref). The “comparison” with THJ was in who he was and his reputation coming here. He was an inefficient chucker that had the same “Kobe” mentality (that still isn’t fully out of him IMO). 

The recent quotes will further break Brooks down when he finds the contract he wants isn’t out there. More reason for him to work harder (already a hard worker) and work towards a solution to shut the critics mouths. Coming here in a Bullock starting type role, it’s pretty easy to see how he can turn the narrative around. If you can’t see that, I don’t know what else to say.
