Johnson on Lopez: “He doesn’t really have a weakness.”
From the Huffington Post, of all places, is a short profile of Brook Lopez featuring a few verbal daps from Joe Johnson. ”He has a great, soft touch in the paint,” Johnson says. “He probably has the softest touch of centers in the league. He really doesn’t have a weakness.” Also: ”He’s been so poised. He’s very relaxed in the post. He’s never in a rush and that’s one thing that I love about him. And he’s a great pick-and-pop guy.” We spend a lot of time reading the media’s opinions re: just about every player there is, but it’s nice to get the inside perspective from a teammate. (Offensively, at least; Johnson might defer if asked about defense.)
