Do we still have a first round pick if we tank?

    No it's not. Hickson was starting next to Aldridge. Robinson is coming off the bench. We'd only be asking Aldridge to play center for a few minutes of the game, and then Lopez comes in and relives him.

    ...was that Lopez got into foul trouble in the 1st half, got pulled out for Freeland, then in the 2nd half played paranoid of his former team. Also, Freeland has about 7 times the pro experience of Robinson, and 7 times the basketball IQ.

    In future games Freeland may continue to exceed Robinson, but not Lopez, in minutes.
