Brook Lopez?

[allen3xis]

And he is in no way, shape, or form- better than T-Hanz.
Stats are the only case that can be made for Hansbrough.

I don't see one aspect of his game that's better than Lopez's, except for his hustle.

You're right about that. He would kill Robin. But we're talking about Brook. I don't think he would get murked by Hibbert, but I haven'tseen enough of him to guarantee that is the case. I'll let you know Thursday night, when he goes up against Kev Love.

Something tells me that Brook will be the better pro. At least a 15-10 type guy. Which is more than I can say about Hansbrough and Hibbert. Thabeet is a wildcard, he's a beast defensively, but is still very raw on offense.

I dont wanna start mess, but allen. what wins games? stats or hustle? hustle is def, a good thing. But T-Hanz has Lopez. Come on now...

Stats and hustle...advantage Hansbrough...

I'll just say this...

20 seconds left, down by 1 and a need a post man to make a move for a score or draw a double and kick out to an open shooter...

I'm taking Lopez.

Hansbrough is a great college player, but Lopez is more skilled

From a talent perspective, Lopez > Hansbrough...

Tyler is a great college player, but he's not one of the most physically skilled or talented bigs in the country.

i think brook can be a player similar to andris biedrin, but brook is definitely more skilled than biedrins

as far as tyler, im seeing a mark madsen/adam keefe (no knock on him those are solid players)

maybe im bias because i watch a lot of pac-10 games, but i think brook will have a better pro career (definitely will be drafted higher)
yes, hansbrough is more accomplished college player (sort of like laettner, everyone knew he was a better college player than shaq and zo, but they would bebetter pros)

To each his own. But for me, I wouldnt want Lopez looking for the open shooter. I would want T-Hanz in the paint getting those pts. with a busted noseand the hustle.

He is a real solid and fundamentally sound player.

Most likely a Top 10 pick and possibly top 5.
