I would go Brook cause hes been on the team longer and hes only getting better. But I would probably choose Courtney to take the last shot out of the 2.

I thought Brook was the pretty obvious choice.

Lee can't really create his own offense right now and he needs to work on his handles. I'm not even convinced he will be the 3rd option since CDR looks like he's polishing his offense.

even if lee happens to be the more viable option right now, i think you have to give your franchise player the benefit of the doubt. the offense has to run through lopez in the future, and there's no better time to work on that stuff than a 'practice' season like this one.

i wouldn't make him 2nd option all the time, just give it to him more often than lee / CDR. maybe 50% - 25% - 25% between the three of them or something like that.

Didnt they say they were going to start to run the offense through brook?

According to stats its:
1. Devin Harris
2. Brook Lopez
3. Raefer Alston
4. Jarvis Hayes
5. Courtney Lee

But i would hope it would be Harris, Lopez, Lee or CDR

Very nice post. Exactly what I was thinking

I think Brook will definitely get the more touches than Lee. Lee is a good player, but I think the Nets want to develop a big ...aka Brook. I guess it would balance backcourt and front court offense more. I like Lee but I hope he learns to like playing for nj.

Brook Lopez for sure. He'd average 16/10 and shoot 55% from the field next season.
