Garrison Brooks shows improvement as No. 2 big

Posted Dec 12, 2018
The No. 32 power forward and No. 131 overall player in the 247Sports Composite, Garrison Brooks had his moments as a freshman, starting 16 games and playing the most minutes of the Tar Heels’ three freshman post players. That set up Brooks as a candidate to take a step forward in 2018-19. "I feel better in shape. I kind of let things come to me," Brooks said. (Inside Carolina)
