RoLo seems to be a guy that doesn't really look to pad his stats. He's a legit C who does the dirty work. The kind of Dirty work that LMA didn't want to do, which is why he didn't want to play Center. RoLo is putting his body on the line in the trenches. I think RoLo is taking himself out of some rebounding due to rim protection and help D. We needed a rim protector and a solid post presence who can score efficiently in the post, set screens and be an effective roll man. He's not pretty but he's effective. We really have to make sure that the other players around RoLo take advantage of the rebound opportunities next season. It's not about just one guy. If you have a DeAndre Jordan or Dwight Howard who gobble up everything, then you're set but in our case we need everyone to take rebounding seriously. |

I think RoLo is getting better but had a down year last year. If all you look at is the stats and don't look deeper it's easy to try and make a case that he's not a good C. You have a bias against RoLo and you seems to be trying to make him out to be a bad player. Here is a very fair and balanced article on RoLo from a Blazers Writer. Robin Lopez is the understated member of the Portland's starting five. We explore the ups and downs of a quiet, but consistent, season.http://www.blazersedge.com/2015/5/7/8557901/robin-lopez-portland-trail-blazers-contract-free-agency |

The article I posted made it clear that the Blazers did benefit from RoLo's presence but at the same time he has his flaws. I think RoLo can still play even better than his best season so far. I think this could be a chance for him to grow as a player in NY in this style of play. Here's another article from Portland Media guys that is balanced. Today, our roundtable answers the following question(s): Robin Lopez, who was a key ingredient to Portland's success the last two seasons, hits the summer an unrestricted free agent. Should the Blazers bring him back or look at other options at center in the free agent market? If yes, what would be a good deal to retain RoLo? http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/index.ssf/2015/05/robin_lopez_you_be_the_gm_roundtable_2015.html |
