So Bynum has 1 good season off injury and now hes better than Brook Lopez?

[Focal Point]

Lopez is tough... strong and will put up a high scoring game on a team, he can shoot pretty well, decent to good in the post, and can pass fairly good... however his rebounding is poor, and his defensive rotation leaves much to be desired. With that said with some work, him, Bynum, and Howard could battle it out as best Centers in the league

 

[5th Letter]

Lopez averaged 18 8 his 2nd year, then he got sick and lost a ton of weight prior to the 2011 season. His rebounding dipped as a result. Then he broke his leg last season and missed the majority of the year. Y'all niggas is really underrating Lopez. It's a lot more closer than you think. The only thing Bynum does better than Lopez is rebound. Both are good shot blockers. Lopez is a much more polished low post player. Better passer, better jump shooter, more range, can hit the turn around jumper, the jump hook with either hand. Plus he won't bitch and moan like Bynum does when better players than him take more shots than he does.

Lopez is good but lets remember the nets aint shit.....

while bynum was playing 3 string next to kobe and gasol, well until last year

 

[(ob)Scene]

Lopez 7 fuckin feet tall and gives you 3 rebounds a game. Are you fuckin serious with this thread?

Really my nigga? 3 rebounds per game?

You really gonna just go off the stats from this season where he only played 5 games coming off a broken leg & only averaged 27 minutes in those 5 games? You can't even say someone that only played 5 games missed a majority of the year. That nigga just straight up missed the year.

I can't believe anyone is that slow so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt.

Lopez averaged 20 & 6 in 10-11 & 18 & 8 in the year before that.

As of now you cant really argue looking at the history of both players that Brook Lopez is better than Bynum. BYNUM HAS 1 GOOD YR I SAID O-N-E 1! The guy gets injured to much Ive had Mono and you do lose alot of weight so we do have to get Lopez a break bc his rookie year he was beating people up. The guy still avg 7 reb per game for his career and last year he was coming off an injury and he avg 17pts per game to 11 and he doesnt have any injuries that are Bynum bad so why would you choose Bynum over Lopez. Im not even sure if Bynum has more potential than Lopez or Marc Gasol.

 

[Knightryder]

lopez plays on a shitty team, lets see what he does on a contender....

we already know what bynum is capable of doing and that was with 2 other all stars on the team kobe and gasol

 

[BlackxChild]

We saw Bynum get injured and weve seen Bynum play 1 god damn season. Greg Oden played great in some games I wouldnt take him over anyone bc he gets injured.

 

[Neophyte Wolfgang]

If Demarcus cousins can control his anger he will be the best center in the NBA

 

[CoolJoe]

Obviously.

In Lopez last full season he averaged 6 boards and was getting 35 MPG, that's disgraceful.

Coming off a summer where he had mono and lost like 30 lbs. Lopez is also a better free throw shooter

 

[IceBergTaylor]

Lol at niggas underrating Brook Lopez. Idk if he's better than Bynum but Brook is a solid Center. I dont give a damn what anyone says. I watched this dude come up his rookie season and he's been hurt ever since. He needs to be 100% healthy. And LOL at using his 5 game season stats to discredit him. Only on the CS

 

[newOldSchool]

The Magic should hire Pat Ewing as Coach and bring in Drew.

 

[moedays]

No 7 footer should average less than 10 boards per game, imo. You the biggest dude out there. Boxing out is a lost art. Everybody wanna fly in for a spectacular rebound.

 

[moedays]

I'll take Bynum's superior athleticism, D and rebounding over Lopez's slightly better O.

 

[Trockm]

Lopez is overrated by some Nets fans but underrated by most. Bynum is very overrated. He will disappoint a lot of fans in Orlando if he's traded there.

No doubt

 

[#1 pick]

Both are slow as molasses. The difference is Bynum plays like a center but is extremely inconsistent. Lopez plays like a PF and is consistent. Both are injury prone.

 

[TRILLip Brooks]

They're both overrated.

 

[ocelot]

I'll take Bynum over Lopez...

 

[BlackxChild]

Bynum avg less than 10 boards per season...

 

[Inglewood_B]

yes.

but all this is the same reason the T/S is discrediting bynum... so what is yall really sayin?
