The new Houston Rockets player Dillon Brooks believes he’s going to be more efficient playing next to a point guard like Fred VanVleet, per Kelly Iko of The Athletic.

“When I spoke to Brooks in Las Vegas last week, one thing he noted was the impact the former Raptors point guard would have on his offensive efficiency, an area he’s fully aware he struggled with last season in Memphis,” Iko wrote.

“VanVleet is one of the game’s premier passers and has elite court vision. There’s a reason Houston’s brass felt it necessary to pay big money to land his services. VanVleet’s gravity and drive-and-kick ability are two much-needed lifts to this team’s floor and ceiling.”
