Spoonful drop Brooks for Quinn

We have discussed Quinn and Brooks both previously.

The Spoonful dropped Quinn just 10 days ago, and picked up Brooks soon thereafter. Quinn does seem to have worked his way into the rotation - after 2 DNP-CDs to open the season, he's up to 20MPG, and is shooting an impressive (if unsustainable) 66% from 3. Brooks only played 9 minutes last night (0 points), and while he's had a few 14 point games, he doesn't offer much other than points, which the Spoonful have in abundance.

Judgment: Quinn has looked good for the last two days, but will likely only thrive until Chalmers starts to find his way more consistently. On the other hand, D-Wade's penetrate & dish style has made stars out of moderately good 3 point shooters before (remember Damon Jones?). Brooks could be useful, especially if Rafer continues to struggle, but he's not really a ballhandler or a steal-getter. The Spoonful are making an effort to become an uncharacteristic 3-Ballin' team, since they have serious weaknesses in DREB and BLK. All in all, these two are pretty similar players, but it looks to us that Quinn is the better pick in the short term.
