Brook Lopez is big bodied center who has excellent offensive post moves, a positive attitude, work ethic. He was the best player available and we took him. If you don't like the pick fine but don't be such a little bitch about it.

Here are some of his answers Brook your brother just got drafted, what do you think about his situation? Brook Lopez: I'm sure he's happy to be close to home. His girlfriend is from Phoenix, so I'm sure he's happy. tanin (san francisco): Brook, what do you think about not playing with your brother for the 1st time in your life? Brook Lopez: Not only that, but being on the opposite sides of hte country. I'm sure we'll use up all of our text messages! I'll just try to mimic his defensive prowess in New Jersey. Charles (Bethlehem, Pa): brook are you pumped to play against your brother some day in the league? Brook Lopez: Whichever team wins will be the one that gets the other twin to foul out. george (charlotte): Brook, fess up, who's better as an all around player you or your brother? Brook Lopez: I am. but ask Robin when he gets in here and tell me the answer. Jake (Chicago): who got the better looks in the family? Brook Lopez: Look at his hair! What do you think? Dave (Los Angeles): Hey Brook, are you excited to play with Vince Carter? Brook Lopez: My friends have always admired him as a kid being one of the best players. He's just tenacious. I'm excited to get on the court with him. matt (new york): The nets have a lot of big men, how do you think you fit in? Brook Lopez: I'm just going to focus on defense and do the dirty work. Get on the floor and get some floor burns. Brook Lopez: Thanks for all the support
ESPN Draft Chat with Brook Lopez: is up next! Wang (Houston): Brook what do you think about falling so far in the draft? Brook Lopez: I'd say I really came in hoping that I would make it to the NBA. I'm just eager to get in and play basketball. Cory (Valencia, CA): Brook your brother just got drafted, what do you think about his situation? Brook Lopez: I'm sure he's happy to be close to home. His girlfriend is from Phoenix, so I'm sure he's happy. tanin (san francisco): Brook, what do you think about not playing with your brother for the 1st time in your life?

We have a SF............................................................................. in 2010 lol
Honestly I think we only have 4 players in the frontcourt...Boone, Swat, Lopez and Yi...Krstic and Diop are probably goners and Swift is really just an expiring contract/trade asset.
Why is Krstic a goner? He had a horrible season last year, so no one is going to trade for him. The Nets will most likely offer him a QO and he will take it, where are you getting this that Krstic is gone?
Good pick. Boone can be his Robin Lopez type of player. Your not gonna find many 19 y/o who can score in the interior like Lopez, also playing in the East helps.
After vieing what just happened with our 21st pick, i don't blame him for knowing nothing about our team. That was just stupid.

Wow. Worst pick of the draft. We pass on Bayless, and pick up Brook Lopez? I hate Rod Thorn, and Kiki.
