    Two Grizzlies in top three. Hopefully both keep it up, and Marc continues to surprise me.

    The experts said Lopez is a bust, and the Nets will be the dead last.

    Brook Lopez = Tim Duncan Jr.

    Throughout that whole game I saw him play, aggressive, tough and then wear out. It's evident the kid has.. IT..His jumper fell short but a whole yr. of working on that w/ his form will smooth that out, his hook shot was inconsitant and fell front rim, the one thing you notice is his stamina, he is being built into NBA shape right now. Think of Brook like a battery being recharged that's what you see on the court around the 2nd qtr. as soon as he works on his strength training, cardio and stamina he's going to be a top 5 - 8 big in the East but unfortunately that may take a yr. or 2.

    Those are pretty good stats. He's a solid center at the very least, which is good for where he was picked. Bulls were reportedly going to take him if they were at #3 (and apparently would have had the same opportunity to do so at #9 if they stayed there).

    He was a good pick.

    If they listened to me, we'd already have Dwyane Wade...and Al Jefferson...and LaMarcus Aldridge or Rudy Gay....and Mohammad Sene.

    probably not, played like a crap against Blazers.

    and Lopez had a solid game, 20 and 8.

    Sometimes, I think The coach of Heat is just a dumbass, their frontcourt is almost the worst in the league right now.

    Undersized "PF" Haslem to play the 5? and Beasley to play the 4? So stupid.

    Come on this tool has Rudy at 10. Even a blind man could see Rudy has been a better rookie than Oden to this point

    He's definately playing better than Boone as of late. I hope he doesn't have to sit once Boone comes back because this is the definition of the words earning it.

    Oden is WAYY too overrated, but heck, that's the media for you.

    Brook has been everything and more than what we all expected, it's a long, long season, but he is a doing a hell of a job so far blocking shots, rebounding, finishing strong around the rim and adding a inside presence to this team that in reality has not had a good inside player ever since Martin left, if that.

    Heck of a job Brook, hope he keeps it up OR Frank doesn't sit him down when Boone comes back, I WOULD BE SO PISSED!:devilwink:
