International basketball fans often talk about FIBA’s versions of players like Patty Mills, Ricky Rubio, Carmelo Anthony, or Nicolas Batum. It’s becoming clear that FIBA’s Dillon Brooks is also in a league of his own. “It’s all of those things [different rulebook, coaching staff, teammates]. I like to play for my country; it gives me a lot of passion to do so,” Brooks revealed to BasketNews. “For the game itself, you have to be 40 minutes attentive to detail. All those things add a lot more to a player, and I like the ball as well.”
