Performance Analysis
Brooks Barnhizer earns a D Performance grade, indicating below-average production relative to other NBA small forwards this season. Through 35 games, Brooks is contributing 1.3 points, 1.8 rebounds, and 0.5 assists per game in his role. Brooks's strongest area is FG% at 38.0, which compares favorably to the small forward median of 46.0. The biggest area for growth is PPG at 1.3 (small forward median: 15.0). Among 119 NBA small forwards graded this season, Brooks ranks 114th. At 24, Brooks is still developing. The production should improve as he gains experience and a larger role with the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Current Sentiment
Barnhizer is a drafted prospect with developmental potential but struggling early production. Media focuses on skill gaps, particularly jump shooting, limiting immediate NBA viability. OKC's investment suggests front office confidence in long-term trajectory and raw tools. Current C- performance and low efficiency metrics create legitimate concerns about NBA fit. Rookie status provides patience, but he must improve significantly to secure rotation minutes.
