He's got a great post game. We should be using him more in the post. The "3 points is better than 2" principle only works if the guy is hitting them 3s.

His post game is robotic and usually ends with him taking a fadeaway or flipping up an awkward underhanded shot at the rim. Many nights those attempts just don't go down for him.

I think he should be involved more as a roll man, not just PnP, but the spacing issues and Lonzo's inability to shoot out of the PnR doesn't give Brook much room to operate.

Regardless, his performance outside of 4-5 games has been disappointing.

Yeah, it's almost like when D'Antoni took Pau out of the post and had him take a bunch of threes and long twos instead. I'm sure Brook could still score a bunch of points in the post if he was featured like he was on the Nets. Then again, they were putting up some terrible W-L records doing that.

Nice guy who makes sense when his 3’s are dropping but...

Most nights it’s not working out. He’s not working out.

Please don’t judge me, I’m just a man, but am I the only one here who hopes Lopez gets a very minor injury that maybe keeps him out of action for three or four games?

I’d love to see a new look there for a handful of games.

How about instead he decides to find himself and takes a week off for a meditation retreat?

Never hope for an injury to our players no matter how minor. Understand your frustration but he is a Rook so many parts of his game is ahead of the curve his shooting will catch up...giving us a new look for a few games doesn't make us better as a whole..

At times.
Rather that than wish injury on someone. Yikes.

I think the offense should run through him when we can’t get out and run but that’s just me...:otherwise I’m not really sure why we have him.

I for one dont like that he passes up his open 3s.
He's shooting 34% in November from 3 after shooting only 27% in October.
I wish he took more corner 3s:

left corner: 4-9 (44%)
right corner: 4-7 (57%)
above the break: 17-63 (27%)

Wide open 3s:
October: 29%
November: 37%

So there's some improvement this month.
That being said, I also wouldn't mind him going to the post when in half court at times.

But if there was only one choice between in the paint (non-restricted area touches) vs 3s, i'd take the 3.

After looking like the old Lopez for a bit, he hasn't looked good of late.

I think Lopez plays defense.
#1 contests in the league right?
But would like to see if Bryant's 3 ball from the g league translates to NBA 3s.
