I did compare him to Brad Daughtery and I think he will reach Brad Daughtery stats.....Now.....during the summer I questioned everything about him including his heart. Right now he's good enough to make a consideration for rookie of the year. He's gonna be all-star calibur. Right now its all about confidence and timing. Kid is good.

Let's see what he does when the games count.

I think he will not reach Daugherty's level.

I think the Bobcats were idiots to pass on him because he was exactly what they needed. As for the Knicks, we should have traded Curry to get him. He would have fit DA's system better than Curry.

He might have fit MDAs system better than Curry but I don't think he would have fit all that much better. MDA likes his centers to be super athletic and while Lopez is moderately athletic, he still is not an ideal fit.

How abut we wait until the season starts before we start patting ourselves on the back. He will be no where near as good as a healthy Brad Daughtery. Brad Daughtery could run the floor like a guard, was an excellent passer, and could score in the paint in a variety of ways. If not for the injuries, Daughtery would have been under serious consideration for the hall of fame.

With D'Antoni, we didn't need Lopez. Anthony Randolph, Eric Gordon or Bayless would have been my picks....in that order. They fit into what we are trying to do here.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

I'm with some others. The man clearly has talent. But it's preseason and a lot can happen during the course of a players career. Nobody is right or wrong at this point.
I just hope that people will like me

It's too early for this. But I'll grant that he's looked good so far.

Quickie question. Is this Nets' Lopez we're talking about here? I know him and his brother are in the league but I can't remember which one Brook was or where the other one plays.

Brook is the more talented and was drafted by the Nets. Robin was drafted by the Suns.

I never thought of highly of Brook. I'm not going to let preseason change my opinion. If he can prove me wrong during the season, I'll man up with you. I didn't think he'd be a complete bust though. I thought he would be decent and still do.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

We should have picked him up, just as we should have picked up Bynum when we had a chance.
I'll never trust this' team again.

ecactly, I am not going to go crazy over him , especially after watching him go against the light defense of zach, lee and curry. Funny when malik came in, he pretty much shut him down... I think he would be decent, nothing more..

I was also. I was able to Robin live this preseason and he is the perfect center for D'Antoni's system.

I think Robin is the better center and I think we should wait for at least 20 games under Lopez's belt, before we make judgement about his value.

Do the same for Gallo. Don't evaluate his future based on 20 minutes of play against rookies, hopefuls and has beens.
