Avery Johnson doesn't think he has a ceiling. Brook Lopez isn't sure he's the best Lopez in the league. Jordan Farmar compares him to Pau Gasol. Brook Lopez will not compare himself to anyone...other than maybe his brother Robin. No doubt, though, Big Brook is the Nets' rising star...or maybe just star, period.
Devin Harris knows he can be traded. Derrick Favors would like to avoid thinking about it. Lopez doesn't have to worry. HIs coach has said he's the lone untouchable on the team. Everyone thinks he's just a bit quirky, both on the court and off. It may be that personality is an advantage to the Nets' center.
