He was second in the nation in scoring which is a quite the feat considering Providence‘s Marshon Brooks played in the Big East; arguably the nation’s toughest conference. However not until recently has Brooks began to emerge as a true first round prospect in the 2011 NBA Draft. After a solid showing at the NBA Draft Combine, Brooks’ stock is on the rise. I had a chance to talk with Brooks at the combine and he had some interesting comments about his time at Providence, playing for a bad team, and even dissed on ESPN’s draft “expert” Chad Ford a bit.
