Brook Lopez fantasy basketball question

[rocketsballin]

What would his stats be like now that their pf/c is loaded? I can tell his pts will go down, but wat about rbs and blks? will they at least be 8rbs and 1.6blks?

[ecuhus1981]

I wouldn't be surprised if his PPG goes up, not down. Remember, he's only 22, and for the first time in his young career, he has a frontcourt mate that won't get in his way down low, and a supporting cast that can space the floor for him.

From a fantasy basketball perspective, I'd be more concerned about his rebounding remaining static. I'm expecting them to go up, just not like the rest of his stats will. Murphy and Favors are better stablemates than he's had in the past, but Avery will give Brook as much PT as he can handle, possibly north of 40mpg. I would predict something like

22.7ppg, 9.8rpg, 2.6apg (3.1topg), 0.8spg, 1.9bpg in 39mpg on 53%FG and 83%FT

^^No way.

I see the same numbers as last year but with better efficiency. And he's definitely not gonna play 39 minutes a game with Murphy/Petro/Favors on this team. He'll probably play 32-34 minutes a night.

would he be a 2nd round pick?

would he be a 2nd round pick?

i personally wouldn't pick him in the 2nd

For a center he won't give you as many rebounds as you like, so I'm not sure. he will give you points, FT%, blocks and some assists (for a center I mean). I'm not really into fantasy basketball this year so I'm not too sure who's rated where but off of the top of my head, the 2nd round seems like a reach. Maybe the end of the 3rd or 4th.

Don´t listen to Jeff, he sucks at these things.

He's a 2nd rounder, maybe late 1st...
