Brooks is a proud Canadian — a Toronto-area product and core member of the national team, whose 39-point game against the U.S. helped Canada to its first World Cup medal (bronze) in 2023. Known for a confrontational, trash-talking on-court persona, he embraces the role of villain and competitive antagonist, a reputation that has drawn both criticism and admiration as a 'culture setter.' His fiery edge has at times brought technicals and discipline.
His on-court identity is physical, point-of-attack defense — a strong, 6-foot-7 wing who takes on the toughest perimeter assignment and shoots capably from three, the classic 3-and-D profile amplified by competitive intensity. His discipline is the trade-off, but his defense, toughness, and rising scoring make him a valuable, hard-nosed piece for Phoenix.
A physical, antagonistic 3-and-D wing — point-of-attack defense, toughness, and competitive fire.
