Aaron Brooks served a role for the Pacers this season that he’s served for five different teams over his career. Brooks’ high energy on offense and 3-point shooting has allowed him to have a long NBA career. Unfortunately for him, the flaws in his game that have prevented him from rising higher than backup status are growing, and his days playing meaningful NBA minutes very well may be shrinking.
I don’t mean to be overly fatalistic. Brooks can still do a lot of things well on offense. He’s a wily ball handler with enough experience to hold down the fort for a few minutes at a time.
