“On the same note, I'm also surprised by the way that Marshon Brooks has risen up the boards. He was a mid second-round pick six weeks ago, but then he started going through the process, he had good measurements, he had a good showing at the combine, and his stock has really, really risen to the point that he's probably going to be a mid-first-round pick. He might have gone at 45 six weeks ago. I think history tells you that that's always a bit of a red flag.

I watched him play extensively this season in person and on tape and I wonder if he's going to be able to get away with some of the things that he did at Providence, the way he monopolizes the ball, his shot selection, the tunnel-vision he shows, the bad body language, the lack of enthusiasm for playing defense.”

“Outside Kemba Walker and Jimmer Fredette, Brooks could be the Draft’s best pure scorer. Brooks might be under the radar to many, but a slouch couldn’t score 24.6 ppg and lead the Big East in scoring.”

“Once considered an early-second-rounder, Brooks' scoring prowess has caught the eye of scouts all over the NBA, even impressing Indiana hoops legend Larry Bird in workouts to the point that the Pacers may take him with the 15th pick overall.”
