Garrison Brooks- New York Knicks

Garrison Brooks spent four years playing big minutes for the Tar Heels prior to transferring to Mississippi State for his Covid-year last season. Brooks is now looking to bring the passion and toughness that he displayed in his time at North Carolina to the professional level.

There were limited opportunities for Brooks on a Knicks team that finished as the runner-up in the summer league. He appeared in just two games, attempting only one field goal and grabbing three boards in those contests.

Despite his lack of minutes in Vegas, Brooks has always been a hard worker and resilient player which should lead to him having a successful professional career in the NBA, G-League, or overseas.
