Stanford’s skilled 7-footer with elite rim protection
Brook Lopez is a proven interior anchor whose Stanford profile is built on size, shot blocking, and efficient scoring touch around the rim; in his Stanford career, NBA.com notes he averaged 16.0 points, 7.1 rebounds, and 1.91 blocks per game, while Stanford’s official bio lists him at 7-0 and a forward at the time. His differentiators are his length, defensive timing, and ability to punish smaller defenders, though he is now a veteran pro rather than a current Cardinal player. If you want a big who changes shots and gives reliable spacing/finishing value, he fits that mold.
