Dillon Brooks - Stellar from deep in victory Brooks put up 14 points (4-9 FG, 3-4 3Pt, 3-4 FT), five rebounds, one steal and one assist across 24 minutes in Canada's 86-79 win over Greece in the Paris Olympics on Saturday. Impact Brooks found himself in foul trouble late in the game, but he took advantage of his limited playing time and provided a solid outing in a close win. The 28-year-old was extremely efficient from deep, and his three-and-D ability will be crucial for Canada in going on a successful Olympic run. However, Canada will likely need Brooks to avoid getting into foul trouble if he is going to make a major impact, especially against tough group-phase opponents consisting of Australia and Spain.
