Defense Quote by Dillon Brooks
“I give guys different looks. I try to front the post and get them to get his post catches farther. I try to full-court press. Just keep him on his toes and ultimately the physicality weighs on you when it gets to the third and fourth quarter. That's just the niche of my defense.”
