Another player who could crash the lottery unexpectedly and even shockingly go just one spot below his twin brother is Stanford center Robin Lopez. Lopez reportedly canceled all his remaining workouts (with the Pacers, Kings, Sixers, and more) with a supposed “sprained ankle” after working out for the New Jersey Nets this past week. The Nets can’t expect to wait and pick Lopez at #21, as there is very little chance he gets past Phoenix at 15, or at the very worst (if Donte Greene slips past Golden State), Toronto at 17, where he is extremely coveted. http://www.draftexpress.com/blog/Jonathan-Givony/ wtf? why?
I don't buy it. If it is true, and he turns out to be a shit player (with many better players chosen after him), I will refuse to root for the Nets any more until Rod and Kiki are fired/retire.
thats missed up besides that donte greene thing but i don't think no SMART nets fan wants the lopez bros i would only take them if they fell to second round but that wouldn't happen
i don't think brook lopez would ever reach tim duncans level... but if we draft robin lopez with #10 and not make any other moves i'd be sooooo pissed at our management.
Actually, now that I think about it, Robin Lopez has been projected in many mocks to go in the last third of the 1st round. Maybe he just got a #21 promise?
