When Aaron Brooks arrived in Indiana, Larry Bird wanted him to do two things — create opportunities for others and knock down shots.
Brooks is doing just that, even if his debut with the team was delayed for a few games.
When he was out with a knee injury for the first three games of the season, the Indiana Pacers missed his presence. Even though he struggled during the preseason, Brooks is a guy that brings a lot to the table as a backup point guard. Speed, offensive ability and play-making highlight his repertoire. Now that he’s healthy, he’s showing all of that.
