He was considered one of the biggest snubs at the All-Star Game. The NBA player is eager to build on his career year and maintain the momentum ahead of the 2026\u201327 campaign.<\/p>\n<h2>Dillon Brooks Comments on the Suns&#8217; Moves This Offseason<\/h2>\n<p>The Suns were active in free agency after they were swept in the first round of the NBA playoffs by the OKC Thunder. This summer, the team added Miles Bridges and Luke Kennard. The front office also re-signed Collin Gillespie, Mark Williams and Jordan Goodwin.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the new season, Dillon Brooks raves about the addition of Bridges and Kennard.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;I think we added some shooting, some spacing with both of those guys, and then some athleticism as well,&#8221; Brooks said. &#8220;We can interchange lineups. Miles helps that, acquiring him, and we get a little more youthful. So I&#8217;m excited. Can&#8217;t wait to start.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Brooks also said that the Suns have become a more versatile defensive team after adding the two new players. Additionally, he pointed out that Kennard&#8217;s elite long-range skills will be a massive help for Phoenix.<\/p>\n<p>Dillon Brooks also shared that he lost some weight after the Suns traded for Bridges. According to Brooks, he can slide into the small forward spot and not worry about playing power forward.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/news-i-can-t-believe-cari-champion-jemele-hill-did-that-former-nba-star-rips-podcasters-for-not-posting-stephen-a-smith-s-uncut-interview\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">&#8220;I Can&#8217;t Believe Cari Champion and Jemele Hill Did That&#8221;: Former NBA Star Rips Podcasters For Not Posting Stephen A.
