"Brooks Barnhizer is the definition of an OKC player. He’s a junkyard dog on defense and isn’t afraid to get physical with opponents. He rebounds the ball well for his size, can pass, and has one very clear X-factor: the jumpshot. With the staff in OKC, there is genuine hope that he can develop his jumpshot and become a rotation player sooner rather than later. He’s also a great human being and an excellent teammate."

"Brooks Barnhizer, who is cut from the Alex Caruso cloth, is a hard-nosed and scrappy defender. Barnhizer had a standout performance in the Blue’s thrilling OT win over the Legends, which included a game-saving block and game-winning free throws. Look out for Barnhizer to emerge as a legit defensive player for years to come. "
