Brooks reads BGP and didn't like this thread. Try to convince me otherwise.

Give me a helluva lot more of that first half Keion Brooks!

Brooks got an offensive rebound and put back at the 12 minute mark in the first half and Bill Self immediately called time out. He knew he was in trouble when that happened.

Whatever the problem was, you folks got it fixed lol. In second half he got on what I call a Jodie Meeks run shooting the ball.

Is there any doubt that performance against Kansas was the best game Brooks has played at UK?

Self said after the game that Brooks appeared to have taken offense to being cut from the USA Junior team that Self coached recently. You could see them both joking in the handshake line. It was a really good moment between the two.

The whole key to Brooks being productive lies on him making shots, just as any player is more productive when making shots because the defense improves along with other facets of any young man’s game.

For sure.  I caught just a little of Cal's radio show yesterday and said that outside of Tshiebwe, Brooks had the high percentage of attempted rebounds on the team by a wide margin.

Working in that high post against a zone is perfect for his skill set too.

Ware has given the team good minutes, but I would like to see Cal play Toppin and Brooks together some when he is giving Oscar a break.
