We all seem to agree, that both Lopez and Vasquez in their respective positions showed good progress, but also limitations. Although not ideal in most people minds, it is certainly a possibility that either one of them or both would be our starting players next season (note I am not saying that is ideal or very likely but certainly one of the possibilities). We also agree that it is possible to have a decent season with either of them being starters, as long as the other additions to the team really make a difference in comparison to this year. Now my question is which of this two players is more serviceable for next season.
Lopez:
Pros:
[LIST]
[*]Very reliable (played every game last season as starter).
[*]Good physical presence under the basket.
[*]Relatively consistent with his short/ medium range shots.
[*] Relatively cheap for what he offers
[/LIST]

Cons:
[LIST]
[*]Very slow for his position (which is more consequential if he plays together with Vasquez, as both are very slow).
[*]Not very aggressive offensively.
[*]Can’t really jump, for his size,
[*]He is weak as a rebounder.
[/LIST]


Vasquez:
Pros:
[LIST]
[*]Probably his biggest plus is how cheap he is for what he offers (2.3 mills for next year).
[*]Very passionate, hardworking attitude (he gives 110% night in and night out).
[*]High advantage over other PG (he can post up and get points that way).
[*]Relatively good court vision.
[/LIST]

Cons:
[LIST]
[*]Clearly his biggest negative is his defense. He is too slow, and has not being able to learn how to at least be less of a liability.
[*]Tends to keep the ball too long.
[*]Slows down the offense when it needs speed.
[*]Tries way too many hero shots.
[/LIST]


I think this is a close one in terms of serviceability for next season what do you think?

out of the 2 Lopez is the more serviceable player. He would be a good rotation big man

Ask again when we are on the clock.

If its Burke, then the General could be gone. If its Len, then I can see us holding on to Lopez for one more year.

Anyone else they are both staying IMO.

I'd say GV is more serviceable to our team b/c he can play more positions of need. Lopez is relegated to C, but GV played some SG and even some SF at times to go along with his primary position of PG. That means we can hide him defensively a little better by putting him on the worst perimeter player for the other team. Plus his leadership and hustle are good qualities to have around the young nucleus we're trying to build.

I'd rather upgrade the talent around Vasquez and roll with that, than upgrade around Lopez.
