How do you guys like Brook Lopez?

[23]

Looks like he's turning into quite a player right now. A gem for NJ

The kid can definitely play.He could become a 20pt 10 reb and 2 blks a game player

I was hoping the Bulls could somehow scoop him up. Kid is noice.

Great, perfect fit for NJ.

I'm not sure he had a better situation to fall into, to be honest. Playing with Vince and The Dude© is really going to help him.

Re: How do you guys like Brook Lopez?

I'm surprised at his offensive game. I thought he could be a decent rebounder and above average shot blocker coming out of Stanford but i thought he would struggle offensively more then he has.

To be honest i expected Oden to be putting up these kind of numbers and expected Lopez to be putting up Oden's numbers but the opposite is true.

Brooklyn Brawler with another double double tonight in a loss against Orlando(19 Pts, 12 Rebs)

A strong contender for ROTY and also a Baby Z in the making I might add lol.

I dropped him in fantasy basketball.

Love him. Glad he wound up on a local team.

He's already better than Shaq in his prime.

Bumping this up since I'm curious to see where everyone ranks him now among the Centers in the league and get everyone's thoughts on him.

Top 3? Top 5? Top 10?

Re: How do you guys like Brook Lopez?

He's unrankable amongst overall players at this point.

With 46 wins in two years, it's impossible to accurately judge a player.

If I was picking a center he'd be in my top 5 but that says far more about how awful that position has been since players stopped playing college ball than it does Lopez's ability.

Depending on the situation, probably right at 10. He is really sturdy and strong. He has a good touch around the basket. Lopez favors hookers and fadeaways if he can't get his shoulder past his defender. Not a good passer if it isn't a handoff. Court vision is not where it needs to be.

He has lead feet and is a slow jumper. He moves slow laterally and blows many rotations. He will need to play with some great athletes to ever have success. Overall, he is good.

Not all that quick footed I'd say. Good set of offensive moves though.

He'd sure look good in a Hornets jersey. Unfortunately, I don't think Chris Paul would look good in a Nets one.

Re: How do you guys like Brook Lopez?

I'm still ticked the Knicks picked Gallinari over Lopez. We needed a presence in the middle, so what does Walsh do? Draft a kid because the coach played with his father. Brilliant.

Re: How do you guys like Brook Lopez?

Definitely a top ten center.

The problem is that he is slower than molasses and is pretty bad in the transition game. He's definitely not a franchise guy.
