He finished behind Derrick Rose, O.J. Mayo and Russell Westbrook. The last Net to receive First Team All-Rookie honors was Kenyon Martin in 2000-01.

Some DUNCE coach gave ROBIN Lopez a first team vote. You know that was supposed to be for Brook.

That 1 vote for Robin Lopez was probably from Lawrence Frank.

IMO, Beasley should not of made 1st team. Love should be there.

I don’t understand what’s with all this love for Beasley. I mean yeah we’ve all seen have the potential to be a star in this league, but a guy that’s been coming off the bench, averaging 13.9 points, and not having the consistency for most of the season, and with all of the media hype on him, I haven’t seen enough that I would place him as an all rookie. Plus the guy was pretty good in college.

Also Congrats to Lopez, and unfortunately your brother Robin cost you two points. Rose deserved ROY, but I believe that Lopez will be just as amazing for the many years to come.

oh and here would be my all rookie team
G-Derrick Rose
G-Russell WestBrook
F-O.J. Mayo
F- Kevin Love/Marc Gasol (leaning more for Love)
C-Brook Lopez

Congrats Brook! Good job this year. I loved watching your game progress. Please, take the time in the off season to take your game to the next level so you can become the leader of this team just like Duncan and Howard are for their teams. It is a big mans’ game. You can be the difference maker in making us an elite team.

can somebody tell me,

is Lopez white, black, or mixed?

by jarkid on May 1, 2009 2:28 AM EDT reply actions  

finally i got the answer

The 7 foot basketball player was born to a Cuban father, Heriberto Lopez, and a Caucasian American mother named Deborah Ledford. He has a twin brother named Robin Lopez who is also a basketball player.

Lopez is so awesome. But still for all the proponents of run our offense through Brook people, I still think it should be through Harris because the new rules makes perimeter players untouchable. Look at what Tony Parker and Derrick Rose and Rajon Rondo have been able to do. And Harris fits right into their mold. Harris just has to learn how to be more of a point guard than a pure scorer.

Oh and Netsdaily, you should do like a joint post or something with that new Truehoop affiliate, Netsarescorching.com

These rookie selection teams and awards are all political. People go with the “names” instead of the substance.

Beasley in over Love? Are you kidding? Love was a double double MACHINE. Lopez should have finished ahead of Mayo and Westbrook.

Assuming that the first place vote for Ruben was intended for Brook (a reasonable assumption), it still means that one idiot coach didn’t have Brook on either the first or second team. (and, if the vote for Ruben was actually from L. Frank, who was not allowed to vote for Brook [maybe as sort of a family tribute]), it means that there were two other idiots.)
