Dillon Brooks has made a name for himself as one of the NBA’s best agitators.
While his recent on-court banter with Lakers star LeBron James has gone wrong for him and the Grizzlies in their first-round series, former NBA player-turned-podcast host JJ Redick said he loves Brooks’s persona and that every good team needs a player like the Grizzlies forward.
“I love agitators,” Redick told Pelicans’ Trey Murphy III in an upcoming episode of his The Old Man & The Three podcast. “They are valuable to teams … Dillon Brooks has value, I really believe that. He is a guy that if you can figure out the offensive piece where it doesn’t hurt your team … I feel like right now the offensive piece is hurting the team, I want him on my team. … You need him on your team.”
