Garrison Brooks signs deal overseas

Former North Carolina Tar Heels forward, Garrison Brooks, has inked another professional contract in the basketball world.

Brooks spent four years with the Tar Heels before transferring to Mississippi State for the final year of his collegiate career. While at North Carolina, Brooks saw the 2019-2020 season as his best performance averaging 16.8 points and 8.5 rebounds per game.

After college, Brooks made his way to the NBA G-League roster with the Westchester Knicks during the 2022-2023 season. During that season, he was averaging double-digit points and rebounds in 37 total games. After that stint in New York, he made his way to Korea signing a deal with the Wonju DB Promy of the Korean Basketball League.

He was there for just one appearance before making his way to his current home in Lithuania signing a deal in 2023 with the Wolves Twinsbet Vilnius.

In the 2023-24 EuroCup season with the Wolves, Brooks averaged 7.6 points and 4.3 rebounds per game while shooting 70.7% from the field. Earlier this year, Brooks’ G-League rights were transferred from the Knicks to the Suns organization after the Valley Suns drafted him in their expansion draft if he were to decide to return to the NBA G-League. Brooks was also able to spend the 2024 NBA Summer League with the Chicago Bulls.

However, Brooks has doubled down and despite that news, he has re-signed with the Wolves for the 2024-2025 season upcoming. Hopefully, for the Lithuanian organization, he can get back to the player he was with Westchester averaging 13.6 points and 11.6 rebounds per game.
