Dort is just copying it. McDaniels and Crowder do too to a lesser degree of success.
Get all up in BI's face. Grab, pull, bully him. He'll wilt. He's not tough.

BI just doesn't have the athleticism to play his style in the playoffs
The irony is he would be so much more productive if he just bought in

Right? Like he's 6'8 with a 7'3 wingspan and is a good passer and shooter. If he just would spot up from 3, move and cut off ball and buy in on defense he would be one of the most sought after players in the league. Pretty much a perfect fit for our roster. He just doesnt want to do that stuff

We could also let him run his ISO stuff as our lead bench playmaker. It's not like we'd have to eliminate that entirely for him.
But he basically refuses to buy in, overall.

Give the man some credit and spell his name right. Dillon Brooks.

Everything we want him to do is well within his ability, it's just a lack of effort.
Like CJ is an awful defender because he's small and old. No matter how hard he tries he wont be good on defense.
BI is an awful defender because he doesnt care.

I grew up in awe of fade-away mid-range shot that Larry Bird & MJ would routinely make in the clutch, in the playoffs. That shot was a trend-setting separator move much like the step-back 3 is today.
I never thought I'd see the day I'd hate that shot. Brandon somehow has made me hate it. He shoots it when we desperately need 3's, fades away from potential And-1 fouling opportunities, and will seemingly miss 75% of them in the 4th quarter.

And hes an awful 3 pt shooter because he wont shoot 3s.
Hes an awful cutter and screener because he doesnt want to do it.
Hes awful of drawing fouls because he doesnt want to.
BI has mentality issues that don’t seem to change yet this organization runs him out like hes some form of Kevin Durant. Its a joke.

The skills that really matter in the NBA:
1. 3 pt shooting
2. Scoring at the rim/Getting to the line
3. Defense
BI doesn’t excel at any of those. A max player needs to be great at 2 of those, or elite at 1 and better than average at the other 2.
The 3 pt shooting is entirely his own choice. He could be much better there but simply hasn’t incorporated it into his game.

In my opinion all those skills are his choice. He has the ability to be great at all those but chooses not to.

All of those things are entirely his own choice.
His % of shots at the rim have gone down since he's been here. Because he would rather stop halfway there and pull up for a middy.
Defense is entirely his choice. Do you know how hard it is to be an awful defender at 6'8 with a 7'3 wingspan? It takes a generational level of apathy to be that bad of a defender with those measurables.
Zero cutting or off ball movement because he pouts whenever he doesnt have the ball in his hands.
He doesnt care about winning, he only cares about being able to play HIS way

Fair enough. I guess I single out the 3 pt shooting because that is the facet of his game that should be so easy to incorporate. And for a guy that supposedly is a guy that studies the game to not understand this.
You are 6-9 with a smooth jumper. Catch the ball and shoot the ball, BI.

BI never has been a pull-up 3-ball shooter, although he could be if he worked more at that aspect of his game. No coincidence that his 3PAs have decreased as Pels have him as a primary creator, with no traditional lead to set him up for catch-and-shoot where he's more comfortable. Counteracting the bully-ball by playing with force appears not to be an option he has right now so he has to find other ways to be effective.
