What is Brook's vertical? He didn't get either jump ball and he has been out jumped quite a bit this year. He gets blocked by the rim a lot too. No explosion. He's mobile though and protects the rim pretty well
Brook's athleticism is severely overrated. He is not quick off his feet and IMO his vert is subpar. That is why you always see him struggle to throw it down unless he is able to do a power step. He is long as crap which helps him with some nasty blocks. Also agree that he is pretty mobile and has pretty good footwork.
I have no idea why UC didn't run it's patented play where they get an easy layup. Perhaps they did and didn't execute correctly. Watch the replay again, if Moore curls to the basket and Cumberland hold's on to the ball just a tad longer Moore has a wide open layup.
