Jordi Fernandez on Dillon Brooks: 'He is nothing more than a normal person who comes in and is very professional'
Jordi Fernandez, however, had nothing but good words about the player. “[He’s] excellent. He is nothing more than a normal person who comes in and is very professional,” the coach said. “He takes good care of himself [and does] all the work to be 100% ready to play. His work in the gym, the things he does on his own – he is a superb professional.” “Inside the locker room, he connects with his teammates, everyone respects him. He is like the rest of the group, he is nothing out of this world. He is one of the best competitors I have ever seen, and on the entire court, not only defensively, where he has superpowers, but he’s shown offensively that he can not only score but also be efficient with the quality of the shots,” Fernandez explained.

Canada needs to clone Dillon Brooks and stick him on Jalen Brunson. Dort can’t do anything with him – 5:37 AM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has been Canada’s MVP in this tournament, to little surprise. But, honestly, Dillon Brooks isn’t far behind. Given the discourse surrounding him and the end of his Grizzlies tenure coming in, who would’ve thought? – 5:32 AM

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander has looked really improved as a playmaker throughout FIBA, and that was a dime to Dillon Brooks for 3. Lu Dort sinks one off an SGA asset next. – 4:34 AM

Marc Stein: Germany holds off Serbia, goes undefeated and wins the @FIBAWC for the first time with a true team approach. Canada beats the United States for the bronze to cap the Summer of Dillon Brooks, who had 39 points in the third-place game.

Donatas Urbonas: Dillon Brooks about playing for Canada NT: “It was so enjoyable. Obviously, the hate doesn’t stop & it keeps going. But just having my country, head coach, a GM, all these guys behind me, and trying to help me to succeed, having nothing to do with the politics, contracts, any of those things… It’s hard to battle against the world in a team. So it’s just a great feeling.” -via Twitter @Urbodo / September 10, 2023
