I think he can be.He'll be the main option on the post, and in the East they'll be some miss matches.
1) Absolutely not, just based on skill. I think he can score the basket, and will be effective, but not the leading scorer. 2) Absolutely not, based on the players he's around. Vince is the first option, Devin can score, Yi, Boki?, Ryan Anderson, BOOONE, Krstic...see where I'm going with this? Oh and in two years we get Lebron so that's definitely going out the window.

If Lopez turns out to be quite productive, I'll enjoy bumping almost all the posts pegs has made tonight.

And I'll be sure to bump all the posts where he was compared to Tim Duncan. Let me repeat that, Brook Lopez was compared to Tim Duncan.

CDR will average more points then him. Now dont take that statement as Lopez is going to be a bad player. I think he'll be a pretty good player for us, just not the big time scorer he was in college.

He's a scorer, that's what his game is about.
