	Just remember, height is hard to teach! Brook is third team All American this year and he's still learnining as a super Soph. He can shoot, rebound and block. And as far as rebounding, defending and in particular blocking Robin is even better!! Dennis Rodman won three rings in Chicago as a starter without taking more than three shots per game! Many NBA players are there to block, defend and rebound! Smart move Brooks brothers - they'll both be drafted and stick in the NBA - barring injuries they be well known defenders in a few years!

	Uh.... are you retarded? Brooke Lopez is a lottery pick this year... hate to tell you. I'd guarantee he's top 10, many are looking at him to be a top 5 pick. You can't coach size like him. He just needs to work on his defense a bit. Robin is being looked at as a sleeper 2nd round pick , and I think he could be a great backup and defensive beast in the NBA. Do your research.

	What they should have done is that Brooke is good enought to go so he make the right choice, but Robin should have stayed in school to develop in collage before going to the pros. They got into Stanford , so they are obviously smart, so they won't blow their money early. Even if they did need a job, they can just mention that they went to Stanford and they will get the job. They don't need to stay in school.

	*Not in the top 20?* 7 footers they will be fine , you didnt watch to much pac ten BB . I would like them to see student athletes stay and develop longer but get paid and they will be fine . they are athletic 7 footers and sometimes getting in early doesnt hurt you

	*Lardo ,* you definetly didnt go to stanford . is it Collage or is it College. They wont get paid cause they just mention they went to stanford.You think since they went to Stanford they wont blow there money early? Good thing he didnt go to a community college ... your a dumass. I believe decent 7 footers will be just fine in the NBA. College doesnt make you!

	This is in no way a bad move by either Lopez brother regardless of where they're projected in the draft. I don't follow the Pac10 or Stanford as closely as some east coast teams, but from the articles I've read about these guys I think they'll be okay - whether in the NBA or in other endeavors. They are probably the only guys I've heard about in college basketball who have listed interests other than basketball regarding potential professions. Granted, that could be the fault or insight of the reporters/articles themselves. Still, they can always go back to Stanford and get that piece of paper, which undeniably is held in high regard in the workforce. The move is not bad for college basketball, just for Stanford's college basketball team.
