Why doesn't Brook Lopez get more rebounds?

[Nick Young]

What the hell is wrong with this guy? It's not like he's physically incapable of being a good rebounder. His brother Robin who is exactly the same as him physically and genetically is a decent rebounder.


So wtf is wrong with Brook? He should be averaging 8-9 boards at least.

[FKAri]

He shoots and makes all the shots for the team on O and allows the other team to make all their shots on D. So there really aren't any rebounds to grab :confusedshrug:

:roll:

[FireDavidKahn]

Because he is super flaccid

[warriorfan]

its because hes gay

[FireDavidKahn]

its because hes gay
If he was gay he would be attracted to balls.

[lilteapot]

isnt that athletic and is a bit timid i guess because of his injury history.

[RRR3]

It probably doesn't help that he's being turned into a stretch 5. He's never been a bad offensive rebounder btw (pretty good in that area actually), so playing on the 3pt line may be hurting his numbers.

[Real14]

Cuz he plays for the nets.

Well, he's too offensive minded. Which means lazy on the defensive end. Genetic or nah, the man is either weak or lazy. But he is more than capable of averaging 10 rpg. But, keep aslo in mind that he carries the load offensively for our team, most of the time. Cut him some slack, thanks.

You are rooting for the Knicks.

lopez is just really slow footed, plus, so many athletic forwards in Brooklyn cutting down his numbers.

[smoovegittar]

Because he's too busy doing everything else.

Brook Lopez is a strictly two space rebounder. He has no lateral quickness like a good leaper. The very best rebounder can jump diagonally like Bill Russell and Rodman. Lopez can't cover as much ground.

as a nets fan i'd say these are all pretty accurate:

OP, you're also making the common assumption that identical twins have identical bodies, which is incorrect. also, according to them, brook and robin may not even be identical, as they've never been sequenced.

regardless, they had to play on the same court for years, and naturally developed different games. brook is a little taller and became the O guy; robin is a little more mobile, and became the D guy.

brook's low rebounding has always been a concern for us. he's become a decent defender and a great scorer however, so there's been compensation.

[PeroAntic]

He doesn't care much about rebounding I'd say.
