Just over two weeks into his NBA career, former Stanford sophomore Brook Lopez has already suited up for three summer-league games with the New Jersey Nets, who selected Lopez with the 10th overall pick of the draft.

Lopez got just under 20 minutes of playing time in his first professional game (albeit in the preseason) against the Orlando Magic and scored 10 points. In his second game, Lopez scored 18 against the Miami Heat (and second overall draft choice Michael Beasley), also in just under 20 minutes. And in his third outing of the summer, Lopez scored 22 points in over 30 minutes and added three blocked shots. All told, it’s been a productive start for the former Stanford big man.

“I think Brook keeps getting better,” Nets coach Lawrence Frank told NBA.com following Lopez’s third game. “Each game he keeps making strides. He has shown a comfort level with his post moves. He has a nice touch. You would say that yesterday his second half was better than his previous one, and I think today was a more complete game than the one that he played prior. You like to see that improvement.”

And it’s not only his coach who is noticing the true seven-footer’s immense potential.

“Brook Lopez was excellent out there,” Nets forward Sean Williams told NBA.com after Lopez’s second game. “He gave a great effort on the boards today. He was a presence on the offensive end in the paint.”

Brook’s twin brother Robin, meanwhile, has yet to see any action with the Phoenix Suns, who picked him 15th overall. The Suns start their summer-league play on July 14 in Las Vegas. But already, the other former Cardinal post presence has established his unique personality to the Phoenix media, claiming to be a “perfectionist at the things that are important” and talking about his artistic talents in a June 28 article in the East Valley Tribune. Robin, who wore number 42 with the Cardinal, will wear 15 with the Suns as a tribute to his older brother, Alex. The number 42 is retired within the Suns organization.
