GARRISON BROOKS #10 - FORWARD - MISSISSIPPI STATE BULLDOGS
Mississippi State Basketball: Forward Garrison Brooks Signs Exhibit 10 Deal with New York Knicks Garrison Brooks will be moving on to professional basketball after spending one season with the Bulldogs as a graduate transfer.
Near double-double Tuesday Brooks logged 18 points (8-14 FG, 2-4 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and one steal over 30 minutes during Tuesday's 78-64 win over South Carolina.
Impact The senior's 18 points were the most he has totaled since posting 18 points against Furman on Dec. 17. His fine performance on the boards also led the squad, as Brooks nearly finished with a double-double. The former North Carolina Tar Heel is averaging 11.3 points and 6.4 rebounds in 21 starts with the Bulldogs this year.

Held to four points Wednesday Brooks amassed four points (2-7 FG, 0-2 3Pt, 0-1 FT), four rebounds, one assist and four blocks over 26 minutes during Wednesday's 88-72 victory over Georgia.
Impact The forward was a non-factor during the Bulldogs' win, as the senior managed just four points across 28.6 percent overall shooting. However, Brooks did indeed lead the squad in blocked shots. Across 15 starts this season, Brooks is averaging 10.8 points and 6.7 rebounds per matchup.

First double-double of season Brooks amassed 13 points (5-8 FG, 3-4 3Pt) and 10 rebounds over 30 minutes during Sunday's 81-76 loss to Minnesota.
Impact After flirting with a double-double numerous times this season, Brooks finally accomplished the feat Sunday by totaling double figures offensively for a third straight matchup and grabbing at least 10 rebounds for a second time. The former UNC Tar Heel is currently averaging 11.0 points and 7.4 rebounds across eight outings with the Bulldogs.

Drops 11 points Sunday Brooks posted 11 points (5-13 FG, 1-2 3Pt), six rebounds, one block and one steal across 29 minutes during Sunday's 66-46 victory over Morehead State.
Impact Brooks struggled overall from the floor but, nonetheless, reached double figures for a second time this year. The senior transfer is currently off to a solid start this season averaging 11.5 points and 7.3 rebounds across the first four games.

Heavy usage out of the gates Brooks totaled 18 points (8-15 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 2-4 FT), five rebounds, one assist and one block over 28 minutes during Wednesday's 75-49 win over North Alabama.
Impact Brooks already seems to be right at home with his new team, taking more shots than any other Bulldogs player in the lopsided victory. This type of usage is something that could absolutely continue in the short term, especially with Tolu Smith likely out a few more games while working his way back from a foot procedure he underwent back in September. The Bulldogs are also missing presumed starting point guard Rocket Watts, so this is a team that could do some damage in the SEC once they get healthy.

Puts up 11 points in loss Brooks had 11 points (5-9 FG, 1-2 FT), six rebounds and an assist across 29 minutes in Monday's loss against Syracuse.
Impact Brooks was one of three UNC starters that finished with at least 10 points, but he didn't provide a lot of value aside from that. He has scored in double digits in four of his last five games, however, so he's at least showing a slight degree of consistency of late.

Delivers double-double Brooks registered 11 points (4-13 FG, 3-4 FT) and 13 rebounds across 26 minutes in Wednesday's win over Northeastern.
Impact The Tar Heels played 14 different guys in Wednesday's win, but Brooks was one of the standout performers -- he was one of four players that scored in double digits while also pacing the team in rebounds. He had a rough shooting performance, but that might have been an anomaly since he has made 46 percent of his field goals over his last five contests.
