Dillon Brooks (born January 22, 1996) is a Canadian professional basketball player for the Memphis Grizzlies of the National Basketball Association (NBA). He played college basketball for the Oregon Ducks, where he was named a consensus second-team All-American and earned conference player of the year honours in the Pac-12 in 2017. He is also a member of the Canadian national team.

College career

Brooks, a small forward from Mississauga, Ontario, came to Oregon after playing at Findlay Prep in Henderson, Nevada. As a freshman, he averaged 11.5 points per game and was named to the Pac-12 Conference all-freshman team.[1] As a sophomore, Brooks led the Ducks to the Pac-12 Conference regular season title and a top ten national ranking. At the close of the season, he was named first-team All-Pac-12[2] and a third-team All-American by the Sporting News. He was also named the District IX player of the year by the United States Basketball Writers Association (USBWA).[3] Brooks averaged 16.7 points, 5.4 rebounds, and 3.1 assists per game.[4]

After the conclusion of the 2015–16 season, Brooks said he would remain with Oregon for a third season.[5] He suffered a foot injury in the summer of 2016 and did not play in Oregon's offseason trip to Spain.[4] On November 7, 2016, Brooks was named to the Associated Press' preseason All-America team.[6]

Shortly after the 2016–17 season, he declared himself eligible for the 2017 NBA draft and hired an agent, ending his college career.[7]

Professional career

Memphis Grizzlies (2017–present)

Brooks was drafted by the Houston Rockets with the 45th pick in the 2017 NBA draft and then was immediately traded to the Memphis Grizzlies.[8] On July 21, 2017, the Grizzlies signed Brooks to a three-year rookie deal.[9] On October 18, 2017, during the Grizzlies' season opener, Brooks scored 19 points, the most points scored by a Canadian-born player in an NBA debut.[10]
