But if Lopez is on the court, he can just sit by the basket, change shots, and grab boards. I am praying Monty recognizes this early on and Lopez gets the majority of his minutes when the Rockets take Asik out. I would love to see the minutes go something like:
Davis-37 Anderson-35 Smith- 20 Lopez-16
