If I remember he was battling an injury all season right? Look he's 7'0 and only 23.. He didn't get many minutes either. I say its worth developing him over the course of the season and let him just block shots and rebound. We don't even need him to score. Phoenix made the WCF last season and when he came back from injury he had some pretty good moments vs LA. It can work..
I remember him playing a lot last season.
His size doesn't mean anything because hasn't been taking advantage of it. He had a good game in the last game of the season against the Spurs, and that's the only one I remember.
I don't know how he'll do in the future. I hope he turns into a good player, no, a great player! I don't want to trade for him and take up a roster spot in the HOPES for that. That's all it is, hoping.
Also, remember, if D'Antoni is here LOL.......You think D'Antoni doesn't like players who don't have offense...well...I'd have to agree with him on this one if that would be the case. Not that we should decide on deals because of him, it's a matter of Lopez not being that good.
I'm fair, I give players a chance. He just wasn't that good. I've seen a lot of Suns games this past season. In fact I check in on a Suns forum since I'm a fan of a few of their players, and they'd be happy to trade him.
If he had solid defense Gortat wouldn't have come in so quickly so many times. My dad got a kick out of it.
Please trust me on this, he might turn out good, but he certainly hasn't shown it.
