Rudy Gay for toothpick. Seriously, we will dunk so many times nobody will even care when we lose.

Brook Lopez for Pac 12 player. Really surprised he has lasted this long with the shortage of quality centers to choose from.

6rpg in 35 minutes will scare a lot of people away in the third round.

He is still without a doubt a top 5 center in the league and really after Dwight its not crazy to say he is next. Rebounds can be found in other positions alla Melo averages 7.3 (3rd most among SF) and Curry averages 4 boards(7th among PG).

I think it's crazy to say he's better than Bogut, Duncan (if he counts as a C now), Nene, Jefferson, Noah, Hibbert, Horford (if you call him a C), and maybe Marc Gasol.

Bigs that can defend are much more valuable than those that can't because guards can't play physical like they could anymore. Having a Center protect the rim and alter shots helps the rest of the team immensely (Tyson Chandler)

with Brook, Steph, and Melo, that D ain't looking so hot.

I was thinking about picking him, but I wanted a center who can grab at least 5rpg

I'd say Lopez is a top 5 offensive center in the league, perhaps even #2 depending on who counts as a center (as in not Pau, Amare, Bosh...) and how you feel about high-usage players, but he's nearly the worst rebounding center in the league (only Hollins is worse on d-boards, and only Hollins and Bargnani are worse overall), and that poses a significant problem despite the swing players.

That PF better be Humphries or Blair or something to make up for the rebounding gap.

Dude don't worry Bogut is miles ahead of brook Lopez. 8-)

And on another note Lopez/Blair would quite possibly be the worst defensive frontcourt among all teams.

Well, someone's gotta take Al Jefferson before that question can be answered.

I planned on it. Might as well, Dwight can more than clean up the mess and he could just guard the **** of the 4/5 spot.

I know I shouldn't ask this question,but is Al Jeff even available for any of the categories?

Nope. I'm taking him anyway though.

EDIT: Ok fine I'll tell him. He was a non-lotto pick.

What? 5th best?

Dwight
Bynum
Bogut
Pau
Marc
Cousins
Hibbert
Chandler
Noah
Perkins
Nene
Horford

You can't find five guys in there better than Lopez?

I mean Howard is clearly first. I would take Lopez over Perkins, Hibbert, Cousins, Chandler, Noah, Horford and Nene with out ever thinking twice. I would say he is right there with Bogut and the Gasols. You act like Marc Gasol is some great rebounder he only averages one more then Lopez and Lopez is much better offensively. I would take him over Marc in most cases. Bogut and him are the same to me. Bynum is just potential, no consistency and cant stay healthy. And Pau is more a PF then a Center, but I would say he is better then Lopez.
