the old-school VCU glue guard who made Havoc sing
In the 2016-17 season, Doug Brooks stood out as a veteran VCU guard who brought speed, defense, and timely shot-making to the Rams’ pressure-heavy style, with VCU’s own bio calling him a “speedy, defensive presence.” His game was built on disruptive steals, quick-trigger threes, and bench energy — the kind of low-drama, high-impact profile that fits a team needing toughness and instant offense. He also showed he could swing games in bursts, including a 16-point, 5-steal performance in 2016 and 14 points in VCU’s 2017 NCAA tournament loss to Ohio State.
