Dillon Brooks Says He Has Victor Wembanyama's Number
Dillon Brooks loudly claims he “has his number” on Victor Wembanyama, telling YouTuber N3on "Go check that up, and he knows it too." Brooks laid out his plan: "You never guard him with a big. You got to put a guard on him," crowd him, deny dribbles and keep him away from the rim. The words have weight. Wembanyama averages just 16.7 points against Brooks, and Brooks has won five of seven matchups. Brooks is also in form at 21.1 points per game while the Suns sit 30-19, so his confidence shapes a real on-court matchup story. Merlin sees the truth in the hustle. Brooks’ relentless, in-your-space approach can disrupt even generational talents, but Wembanyama adapts with spacing, touch and team counters. If Brooks avoids foul trouble and Phoenix builds the right cover, the blueprint can work. If not, the young star will carve out new answers.
