Simply put, Dillon Brooks is a workhorse. He plays his behind off, has his nose in every play, and is heavily committed to the game. Our own Brendan Smart spoke with Brooks recently about his offseason, which included everything from hosting a camp to working out with the Gasol brothers in Spain.

His iron-clad work ethic and character bode well for an emerging player, and for a team attempting to rebound (pun not intended). Combined with his on-court hustle, he is bound to become a fan favorite in Memphis, where Grit ‘N’ Grind reign supreme, and Tony Allen is a demigod.

Even in a season of mass uncertainty, the Memphis Grizzlies can count on constant effort from Dillon Brooks. And if his career arc mirrors his work ethic, he could be on the verge of a breakout year.
