Wow, I think it would be a big mistake for Robin. Obviously, Brook should go.

Robin could certainly use another year of experience, and being the man at Stanford next year would be ideal for him.

Regardless though he'll be drafted in the first round.

Robin can always go back if need be. I'm sure he wants to go pro when his brother does. I agree Robin could use another year at Stanford as the go to player.

They will both suck in the NBA.

Their mother said both will be hiring agents.

Your nuts if you think Brook will not be a very good player in the NBA. He is a skilled 7 footer with game on both ends who is NBA ready as a sophmore. That combo does not happen very often.

Brook should go, Robin should stay. But both can be very sucessful in the NBA.

It would have been nice to see what Robin could do at Stanford being "the man" and with a little more refinment I think he had a chance to turn out better than Brook, but as it stands Brook is a top ten pick (maybe even top 5) and Robin is a 1st rounder...........so why not?

Good move by both.Because Brook is a top10pick and I dont think Robin can take being the man

I'm not nuts. That's my opinion of them.

I'm just wary about twins from Stanford. I'm a wait and see with both of them, I don't think they will do much in the NBA. But we'll see

Why do you insult people when they post something you don't agree with? What are you, 12? Brook hasn't shown that he has game on both ends at an NBA level, so it's all up for debate. Getting only 9 double doubles out of 27 contests is not all that great, for example. Especially when you consider that he is 7 foot 260 lbs. He was only an above average defender, another concern for someone with his size and supposed athleticism. How will his defense and rebounding translate to the NBA? It's anyone's guess, but we've seen plenty of players with those same red flags flop in the NBA.
