Robin Lopez

[ShawnBronald]

We likely just want to make him looks as good as we can and unlaod him.

Actually, I agree here 100%. It would be nice to be able to showcase Robin, but I'm not sure that's working out as planned. It does seem as though Nash is somewhat forcing passes to him early in the game. Could this be to inflate his offensive numbers? Sadly, while Robin seems good at hitting the mid-range jumpshot, he cannot for the life him consistantly make 2 foot hook-shots, layups or even dunks! Ouch. And that's only when he doesn't get the ball swiped away while holding it near his knees.

Just to be clear, im not giving up on Robin because he has no potential. He is still young and alot of bigmen take a couple years to adjust and thrive in the NBA. That being said, hes had a couple years I really feel that the guy has no passion for basketball. When hes on the court he looks like hes trying not to look bad or make a mistake, rather than trying to win. I would argue that this year he's taken a step back and with the addition of someone like Gortat who is strong and plays with passion, Robin is completely expendable. Centers are still a premium in this league so we can get something in return even if it is just some draft picks.

I had no idea Siler had lost 40 lbs since he has joined the Suns. Thats why people like me get excited about no names like Siler, hes hungry..and I dont just mean because hes on the Nash diet. If only Robin had that kind of desire/fire.

we need too trade LOPEZ in a package for KAMAN or a draft pick..

he has never done anything good. we took a risk on him when we drafted him. he was officially supposed to be a 2nd rounder.

and u guys compare him to deandre jordan, and mcgee .. those guys are strong and athletic
lopez is lanky and slouchy

please for the hundreth time.

GO READ HIS DRAFT PROFILE

he was never good on offense. he was mainly a defender and supposively a rebounder
we were hoping he would compliment amare and be a TYSON CHANLDER, or CAMBY type

that never fell through so

if i was a teacher this project would of got an F

now onto the next project

^^^^^^I agree

ya some of the strengths didnt make sense....

people who follow him and say he has potential didnt watch him in college

he was never an offensive threat...

suns just wanted 10 pts and around double figures in rebounds and defense... thats all we needed

if he became a NOAH type with hustle and energy.. we would love him

but he isnt that..

SUNS are trying to push him as an offensive threat... where he needs his points are put backs

Haha.... yeah, I was thinking the person who wrote this stuff was either on something truly amazing or it was written by Robin's mother. I guess you can't really blame the Suns, it seems they visited DraftExpress and drafted solely on that. Is there any other explanation?

[jdub49]

do you guys remember that draft???

we could of got ROBIN LOPEZ in the 2nd round..

[jdub49]

WHY DIDNT WE GET DEANDRE JORDAN????
