Which Lopez twin do you like... Brook or Robin?
Robin had 24 points, 10 boards and 5 blocks for Stanford vs Yale a few days ago.
Brook is sitting out the first few games because of academics.
They're both 7 feet tall.
Last year, Brook was the better all-around. Both were solid defensively, but Stanford used Robin more as a defensive center and Brook as an offensive 4 because his moves were more polished. Robin also seemed to hit a freshman wall at about the time Brook came back from his preseason injury.
This year, with Brook out with suspension, Robin's showed some promise on the offensive end. He spent some time working on his footwork over the summer, and it shows. He's still not quite to Brook's level (Brook has longer range on the jumper, and is much more versatile) but he's far from a liability offensively.
I would take Robin because Brook is similar to Hawes ....
Not sure I get what you mean here. Because Brook is also very talented offensively? He doesn't quite have all the post moves Spencer has. And he's far from the liability on offense (see his
12 blocks against USC last year).
While they've said before they want to leave school at the same time, I'm not sure if they follow through with that. Brook's definitely ready, but I'm not sold on how ready Robin is. If he keeps up with his offensive progress, sure, but remember these are against Yale and some other heavyweights. We'll see when he takes on Kevin Love, Taj Gibson, Ryan Anderson, etc.
