As a standout defender, versatile Houston Rockets forward Dillon Brooks continues to bring energy and leadership to Canada’s squad as it looks to achieve unprecedented World Cup success. On Tuesday, Brooks had 6 points, 4 assists, and 3 steals as the starter at small forward. The Canadians were +12 in his 23 minutes played.

Brooks is among a handful of established NBA players on Canada’s roster, with others including Oklahoma City’s Shai Gilgeous-Alexander; New York’s RJ Barrett; Utah’s Kelly Olynyk; Minnesota’s Nickeil Alexander-Walker; and Dwight Powell of Dallas.

To this point, Canada has played its matches in Jakarta, Indonesia. Scroll on for a look at Brooks’ top World Cup photos to date.
