The National Association of Basketball Coaches has named their 2017 All-American Team and Oregon’s Dillon Brooks is apart of it. The Canadian finds himself on the second unit of the elite collegiate talent.

Awards continue to pile up for Oregon’s do-it-all man. Brooks was named Pac-12 Player of the Year. Not to mention, 1st Team All-Pac-12 and tied a program record with four career Pac-12 Player of the Week honors. What can’t he do? The real question is what’s next for Dillon Brooks?
