Robin Lopez 

Post#1 » by TheHartBreakKid » Wed Oct 13, 2010 7:25 am

Laker fan here...I come in peace. Let me start off by saying Nash is one of my favorite nonlakers and I think you guys are still a playoff team.

I drafted Robin lopez to my fantasy team, and I'm just wondering what to expect from him. His stats from last year are obviously crap, but I've seen Suns fans praise him alot and mention his injuries. So I'm just wondering, will he play majority of the minutes at center, is he fully healthy, and also just a projection on what kind of stats he will bring.
I drafted him wanting to fill in a hole at center, needing some rebounding and blocks.

Leave now.....................dirty Laker fan, haha.

Seriously, I would expect somewhere around 12(15)-7(8) the brackets being hopeful. Unfortunately he is a bad rebounder at this stage for his hight, but I'd like to think (hope) that would increase. Injuries are his issue as well as foul trouble. His back issues are scary for someone so tall, but I think he will be serviceable for you at C. However, it really depends on where you picked him up. He is good for a late round pick IMO.

He should give you about 11ppg and 6 rpg at least. Like NF33ISH said, injuries may be a concern for him. Don't worry about him not getting sufficient minutes, because I can assure you he will be getting at least 30 a night.

I expect 12/7, though 15/8 is not out of reach.

Suns fans are so high on him because how his presence impacts the game. Unfortunately his production doesn't translate to the box score that much. He'll likely be the main target in the pnr with Amare gone so his scoring should go up but he doesn't collect a ton of rebounds, the team as a whole just rebounds much better when he's taking up space.

I'm sure anywhere from 10-5-1 to 17-8-2 is pretty fair game. This is an important year for him, I think what he'll get is a mystery for all of us.

I think he's going to score more than we might expect, as Nash seems to be feeding him on PnR's a lot. If Lopez is smart enough to roll to the hoop, Nash will find him. And last year he showed us a much-improved jumper and a baby hook
