Fresh off the Rockets' victory over the Lakers and Lebron (who his own team and fans accused him of provoking when he called Lebron "old" in the playoffs last year), Dillon Brooks is having a pretty good redemption year.
Rockets are 4-3 and 6th in the West.
Grizzlies are 1-7 and last in the West (albeit with MANY injuries.)
And on an individual level, his stats have been far better in this 7-game sample to start the season.
Only his assists are down and his offensive and defensive ratings are markedly improved.
Dillon Brooks stats: as a Rocket vs as a Grizzly:
- PPG: 14.7 vs 14.5
- FG: 56.9% vs 41.6%
- 3PT: 53.8% vs 34.2%
- Rebounds: 4.6 vs 3.1
- Assists: 2.0 vs 2.1
- Offensive rating: 120.1 vs 101.7.
- Defensive rating: 109.9 vs 113.3.
+/- per game: +9.3 vs +0.8

Is it time to start saying this is Dillon Brooks is on the road to redemption?
His team threw him under the bus. Everyone feasted. Look at him now.
