You know what I was going to go with my boy JC if he starts, but only if he starts ... Then I thought Ingram... But when I seen recent pics of Randle ... Randle the Beast has been working hard this offseason to get 8% body fat not sure if he there, but his damn impressive right now. I'd go with RAndle

I'd probably go off the board and say Lopez.

Definitely Lopez, everybody needs to stop sleeping on him, he is far, far more than an expiring deal. He is also the 2nd best offensive center in the league (originally forgot about Cousins, but Lopez is not far behind him), and team stats indicate that his rebounding and defensive weaknesses have been blown out of proportion. I predict 22/7/2 for Lopez with 50/38/80 on shooting percentages. He will flourish with the playmaking of Ball and Randle around him and will show the Lakers that they already got one of the 2 stars that trade was supposed to bring.

although offensively a good player, he's very far behind Cousins lol...who IMO is very underrated when compared to "untouchable" bigs like AD and Towns simply due to his antics.

Overall Cousins is far ahead of Lopez, but offensively I feel it is very close with a small edge to Cousins for just offense alone. Cousins has more volume scoring and playmaking, but loses efficiency and turns it over far more than Lopez. In the end I give the edge to Cousins by a small margin on offense, but a much larger margin on D which gives Cousins a comfortable margin overall.

I'm not sure we should be spending much time arguing this point. Neither players really help a team win games. Even after joining AD, the pelicans weren't much improved. On the other hand, Lopez led his team to the worst record in the NBA.
