The Leadoff- Aaron Brooks is great at making layups
Nate Robinson is now on the Oklahoma City Thunder? I'm sure deep down inside, he'd rather play for another team, but as a professional basketball player, he needs to get paid and he needs to put on a Thunder jersey sooner or later. It is a weird situation for his loyal fans from Seattle, but it's something we will just have to deal with.
Aaron Brooks is also now on the Phoenix Suns after being traded from the Rockets. I never envisoned Brooks being such a great NBA player, but the guy is probably one of the quickest players in the league. I remember watching him in the 2003 state championship game playing for Franklin against Mead high school (who had Adam Morrison at the time). He's not one of my favorite players, especially after intetionally elbowing Ryan Appleby in the nose in a game while he was playing for Oregon.
One thing that is awesome about Brooks though is his ability to make layups, hard layups. Watch some his games from high school, college, and maybe even in the NBA and watch how far he'll be from the basket when he shoots a layup. He's farther away than a lot of players.
