Brooks enjoyed the best offensive season of his career in 2025-26, averaging a career-high 20.2 points while adding 3.6 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.0 steals and strong three-point production in 56 starts for Phoenix. His performance was rewarded with a three-year, $73 million extension that keeps him under contract through the 2029-30 season, eliminating any uncertainty surrounding his long-term role. While Brooks will never be a high-end fantasy option due to modest contributions in rebounds and assists, his combination of scoring, three-pointers, steals and heavy minutes gives him a dependable fantasy floor which should be high enough to draft him in mid-rounds in most formats as long as he doesn't suffer a major statistical regression. Even if his numbers drop a bit, Brooks has firmly established himself as one of Phoenix's core veterans, and another season of 30-plus minutes appears likely. Managers shouldn't expect another major offensive leap, but Brooks has evolved into a reliable mid-to-late-round contributor who offers consistent production across multiple categories.
