Strengths: |
Lopez
is a true 7-footer who possesses ideal size and an impressive
wingspan. A smart player who plays within himself and
rarely finds himself out of position or in foul trouble.
Good shot-blocking instincts, particularly strong-side.
Sets himself in the lane and has the strength to hold his spot.
Solid back to the basket scorer who has a couple strong scoring
moves including a half-hook. Flashes the ability to score
facing the basket using a mechanically sound jump shot out to 15
feet. Gets to the line at a good clip for a bigman. |
|
Weaknesses: |
Pre-draft testing showed that he wasn't quite the athlete we
thought. Although, with that said, it doesn't bother us to
much considering what we've seen in-game. His left hand
isn't a threat at all. Field goal percentage is brought
down by some ill-advised jump shots. Everything
considered, he should be a better rebounder. Average
at-best passer. |
|
Overall:
|
With
Lopez, you pretty much know what you're going to get. A
better than average NBA center. Considering the state of
the league, that's enough to warrant a high selection. |
