Danauje Brooks brings a deep scoring résumé and instant backcourt energy to Kentucky State
Brooks entered Kentucky State after a high-school career that included 2,000 career points, a 2024-25 average of 28.1 points, 4.2 rebounds and 4 assists, and multiple explosive 40-plus and 50-point outings for South View. She’s a quick 5-foot-4 guard who plays with confidence, range, and steal-hunting intensity, which makes her intriguing as a pace-changing lead guard. The fit question is less about talent and more about translation: her size will be tested, but her shot creation and competitive edge give her a real chance to be a spark plug if she adapts quickly.
