I can’t speak for Bucks fans, but watching Brook over the first 4 games of the season or so, I was slightly concerned. He looked even slower than usual, and didn’t look overly great at protecting the rim (0, 0, 1, 1 blocks in the first 4 games of the season).

Since that point he’s gone on an insane defensive run, here are his blocks in his last 10 games:

8, 0, 4, 3, 2, 3, 7, 6, 2, 5.

He is now 2nd to only Anthony Davis (3.3) in blocks per game this season at 3.0 per game.
