Leader in exhibition Brooks had 18 points (7-12 FG, 4-6 3Pt), eight rebounds and a steal across 21 minutes in Friday's 95-72 exhibition victory over Kentucky Wesleyan.
Impact Brooks had a modest, six-point, five-rebound effort in Kentucky's team scrimmage a week earlier, but shined against a DII opponent. With one more exhibition contest on the slate Nov. 5, early indications are that Brooks has locked down a starting spot alongside West Virginia transfer Oscar Tshiebwe. Tshiebwe will do a lot of damage on the glass, but Brooks has a developing offensive game that pro scouts will be keeping an eye on in 2021-22.
