Brooks hasn’t played much of a role in the NBA this year and has spent the majority of his time in the G-League. He will likely continue to play in the G-League, unless he finds a new squad to give him a two-way deal. The Nets’ roster now stands at 17 players, including two two-way players.

Brooks came out of nowhere on Wednesday and played a crucial role in helping Brooklyn secure the win. He provided five triples in just 16 minutes off the bench and had a plus/minus of +30. He stepped up with Spencer Dinwiddie and Dennis Smith Jr. out, but it’s hard to imagine him having another game like this. Unless he does this again, leave him on the waiver wire. Mikal Bridges led the team with a 21/7/5 line. Dorian Finney-Smith continued his strong play with 15 points. Cam Thomas cooled off and scored just 13 points on 4-for-19 shooting. Whether the shots are going in or not, he’s not going to stop shooting. Lonnie Walker had a strong game off the bench with a 17/3/4/3 line in 25 minutes. If Dinwiddie remains out, he should be considered as a streaming option. Trendon Watford added 11 points off the bench.

After performing well for the Nets’ Summer League team in Las Vegas, Brooks has been rewarded with a two-way contract. While he has appeared in 74 NBA games, Brooks spent all of last season in the G League with the College Park Skyhawks. While he’s capable of providing 3-point shooting, the majority of Brooks’ minutes are likely to come with the Nets’ G League affiliate next season.

Brooks had a good afternoon shooting the ball, with his triple in the final seconds of regulation forcing overtime. While the veteran guard’s had some NBA opportunities in the past, he’s looking to lock down either a guaranteed contract or training camp invitation. Sunday’s performance was a nice final impression to make on league decision-makers, whether it’s the Nets or another team.
