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?

Did he need redemption? I don’t love him as a player but he was scapegoated and that’s not fair.

This storyline is dumb.

He locked himself into an underpay for a bad team.

What is he doing, being a peak role player for a team with no shot at the playoffs?

Nah, that's what Reaves did though

His team threw him under the bus. Everyone feasted. Look at him now.

Love that he is thriving while Memphis is absolute dogshit. Nothing against the Grizzlies, but they generated some terrible karma they way they did him.
