00:00If there's one player in the Valley whose fire never seems to dim, it's Suns forward Dylan Brooks.
00:06Whether you love him or love to hate him, you can't deny that his intensity borders on the
00:10unbelievable. We've all seen how he handles himself on the court. That technical, foul count,
00:16even after a handful of rescinded calls, tells you just about everything you need to know.
00:22And that pregame stare down, it was on full display time and time again this season.
00:27Honestly, both belong firmly in the crazy department. But what about getting a workout in just one day
00:33after the Suns were eliminated from the playoffs? Or breaking down film when there isn't a single
00:37game left on the schedule? Go ahead and add those to the list too. The offseason starts now. I love
00:45to work on my game, and I feel like the series that we just played opened up my mind to
00:49another way of
00:50getting to my shot and affecting the game, Brooks said. With the momentum that we have, and that I
00:56have this season. I just don't want to take a break. Like it or not, Brooks will eventually
01:02have to set the ball and the film aside, as the offseason truly takes hold for him and his
01:07Suns teammates. A little R&R never hurts, especially after the forward helped turn around a Phoenix squad
01:13that was projected to be nowhere near the postseason, given all the turnover the franchise went through
01:19last summer. I might, vacation, somewhere on a beach. Last year I did Japan, Tokyo, and I was
01:26walking around too much, Brooks said. I want to be on like a beach somewhere, maybe like St.
01:31Bart's or the Bahamas or something. Kick back, get a tan and have my first drink. But as we've seen
01:37all year long, wherever Brooks goes, crazy tends to follow close behind. He is crazy, that's an accurate
01:44thing to say, guard Grayson Allen said Tuesday. He's a good guy to have on the team, his energy,
01:50his competitiveness. I heard he was showing some guys clips from the game last night like we still
01:55have another game tomorrow. His mindset is all about basketball, winning, and being competitive.
02:00So it's good to have a guy like that on the team. He's so crazy, that like when you're around
02:05him,
02:05you appreciate his work ethic, the drive. He was in here this morning working out, forward Oso
02:10Iguodaro added. There's a craziness to it, but you respect it, and you really appreciate it,
02:15and it makes you want to get better. So here's the question I'll leave with you Suns fans.
02:19Is this non-stop, slightly unhinged obsession exactly the kind of edge this team needs to
02:24take the next step, or do you think Brooks needs to learn how to switch off before the engine overheats?
