Brook Lopez is good enough to be a lottery pick. He is one of the top 3 centers in the draft. Robin Lopez, on the other hand, has no business going pro yet. I will be surprised if he even gets drafted.

I agree robin should have stayed and see if he could develop his offensive skills a little more.

could not have phrased this any better...brook has touch enough to be a solid inside option in the NBA...robin, on the other hand, will struggle...he's not a scorer in college, how is he going to get anything in the NBA? 

Yes, he's 7 feet tall, but shaun Bradley was 7'6 and had a horrible career...got paid, but was an aweful pro...and bradley got his in college (unlike robin lopez)

If you don't think they'll both be drafted, you obviously haven't seen them play and you're not a very good judge of talent.  The only reason Robin didn't score 20 a game was because he was playing on the same team as Brook, and when you factor in that Robin is one of the premier  defenders and shotblockers available at center, it's not too hard to see that someone will pick him up.

Brook will go higher certainly, but Robin is probably a late 1st rounder or, at worst, an early 2nd rounder...no doubt about it.

They're both NBA players.  At 7' tall if you can crawl across the floor there's a market.  And Robin is only shadowed by his brothers skills.., but if you look closer you can see that Robin also has good skill & plenty of upside.  And they're both very strong.  With NBA instruction & weight training they will both do good.  They're certainly better than the Collin twins & they made it.

I think Brook is ready to test the NBA waters. Robin on the other hand needs another year or maybe two. Stanford is not a basketball mill so I say, go and get the money! They have done all that they can or would do for them anyway.

Athlete524 you obviously know nothing about basketball.... Ive watched the two of them play UCLA 5 times total over the last 2 years and they have impressed me...... Brook Lopez has a soft touch around the rim and has NBA Level Post moves........ He can step out and shoot from mid range and he has the ability to draw fouls where he is a good shooter for a big man.... He is a beast defensively...... Last year he had 12 blocks against USC!!!!!!!! He averaged 1.9 this year yet he managed to change alot of shots...... He needs to work on his rebounding but other than that he is a great prospect you will succeed in the NBA........Robin Lopez I truly believe is underrated........ He might not have the same offensive skill level as his brother, but he can put the ball in the basket......... He is very underrated for his offensive skills...... He also may be on of the best shot blockers and defensive post players in the country....... talk all you want about offense, but this kid can play some good D......... I wish both stayed cuz they would both get better with another year, yet both will do well in the league...... Brook will be a top 10 pick and Robin wil proably go in the late 1st to early 2nd........ Brook will enjoy a great career maybe even rookie year depending on what team he goes to..... While Robin will go to a better team where he will not play as much and struggle in his frist few years before he becomes a solid backup

they really arn't good basketball players. first off they get the benefit that no other college basketball teams have enough height to match up with two players that are 7 feet tall.  They are able to post up and shoot over smaller players yet they manage to miss a lot of these shots.  Also, they barely beat a very undersized marquette team and lost to texas.  If they were so good they should have dominated these games but they didnt which just proves my point. The only reason they even play college basketball is because teams need centers/ forwards reguardless of their basketball ability because not many people are that tall
