Brook Lopez = Chris Kaman

[Dumpy]

Question: Last year, how many rookie bigmen averaged 14 and 8, on 50%+ shooting? Answer: None.

How about in 2006-07? Answer: None.

How about 2005-06? Answer: None (Villanueva comes closest, averaging 13 PPG and 6.4 RPG.

How about 2004-05? Okafor! His FG% was low, but we'll take it. Dwight Howard was close as well, but scored just 12 PPG.

Are you getting the sense that Lopez could be kind of special?

 

[GMJ]

IDK why, if you look at my track record a BBF.com

I'm the one that said Tyrus Thomas was a bust waiting to happen, I said Randy Foye was overhyped, I said batum was the best Euro prospect in the draft.

Your track record is why 90% of those people went against your perception.

Calling Batum the best euro prospect doesn't take much. He had top 10 stock the entire year until he hurt his knee.

He could be but you are throwing out his bench games... don't think you should completely dump them. And we don't have a large sample size of his starting games, either.

I'm excited. Although I think the refs will catch on that he uses his off-hand to push off a lot.

yes, I'm cheating. To be fair, I should also throw out the bench games of the other past rookie big men. And, of course, there is no guarrantee that he can continue this pace his entire rookie season.

I'm really impressed by the inside moves and the rebounding. He's no longer giving up as many offensive boards to the opposing center as he was early in the season.

 

[jirohkanzaki]

yes but as soon as boone's heel gets well brook will be on the bench again messing up his game and the only reason will be that he's a rook...

 

[Petey]

I cheered the draft pick call from NetsDaily's Command Post.

You guys really are upgrading huh?

Bosh is better.

Brook is playing so well that you are scared and comparing him to Bosh. Rofl.

Gallinari is better. Batum is great, but Gallinari at 100% is a level above him.

 

[DevinNets34]

Brook Lopez will be as good as Duncan.

His body is so big and strong, good fundamental, and skills.

In age of 20, he is averaging 15.7 - 9 - and 2 blocks.

Duncan is the best PF of all-time, so easy with that stuff.

 

[o.iatlhawksfan]

poor man's Tim Duncan, but not as good as T.D.

Gallinari is better. Batum is great, but Gallinari at 100% is a level above him.

Let me see him do something first

 

[GMJ]

Let me see him do something first

He's already been playing Pro-basketball before he came to the NBA you anus.

 

[kobimel]

He's been playing for a while. The fact that you haven't witnessed it doesn't mean it didn't happen.

 

[GrandKenyon6]

Comparing Brook Lopez to Tim Duncan is nearly as ridiculous as saying Sean Williams has the potential to be as good as Kenyon Martin was. Truly absurd.

Potential - adjective

possible, as opposed to actual

Potential - adjective

I guess it's possible that Lopez could be the best PF of all-time. It's also possible I could win the lottery next week.

 

[DevinNets34]

Potential - adjective

in fact, Potential is also a noun

maybe not the best PF of all-time,

but the best C. haha.

and you will win the lottery soon.

Possible

being within the limits of ability, capacity, or realization

FYI, I never compared Brook to Tim Duncan, I compared him to Kaman. I said Sean Williams has the potential to become Kenyon Martin, though unlikely.

Never said you did.

Sorry for assuming that Lopez line was not directed at me when you quoted my post.

That's nice. It's too bad it's not possible for Sean Williams to be anywhere near that kind of player.

 

[mikeslovak]

Lopez has been able to get any shot he wants once he establishes good position. Now he needs to focus on finishing the sale. He seems to rush his shots.
