He went for 19 tonight & had some big 3s. They played the call on ESPN it went something like, "Who needs Rafer Alston when you have Aaron Brooks!" Obviously the team felt pretty confident in him if they traded away their starting PG.

Brooks is so quick. He can get to the hoop, he can shoot the 3, he can find the open man, etc. IMO, he is exactly the type of player Oregon is missing.

No doubt. With EK's offense you have to have a player who can go 1 on 1 & score. Just watch a game & you see isolation consantly. Problem is, the only guy who can create ANYTHING for himself is 5'6". Which is why EK needs to make adjustments but we all know that will never happen.

Plus 6rebounds and 8assists.
Great game for Aaron.

Great move by Houston trading Alston and getting AB in there. Such a good player.
