Rod Thorn has said Brook Lopez is about where the Nets expected him to be. Not everyone is that cavalier about Lopez's success, including Lopez himself: "I thought I'd eventually work myself up to this, but not this quickly!" Lopez is averaging 17.2 points, 8.6 rebounds and 1.8 assists for February, which keeps moving him up the rankings of NBA rookies...in one all the way to #1!
