I asked you guys several months ago to tell me who was the next kid that have similar athleticism as Kobe or perhaps better athleticism and one IBN member had brought this kid's name. And lo and behold, he was right.

Even without consistent three point shooting if this guy turns out into a taller version of Thirdy Ravena, I will be satisfied with that.sigpicComment

He's around 6'1-6'2. That style of play won't work in college. He needed to adapt or else he'll become irrelevant.Originally posted by analyzed View Post
Whatever happened to Paolo Romero? He played for UP right?Comment

One good thing I noticed about this kid is that, he's already physically mature for his age—cut arms and shoulder. That's a sign that he knows how to use the weight room.
On the other hand, Kobe was a skinny kid at 15, but had more bounce nonetheless.Comment

Just watched FREEGO CUP PSSBC and my first time I watched Francis Lopez and the potential is there he just need to improve his shooting, decisions making or shoot selection, dribbling. But I can't wait to see him play against FEU and their import DIALLO and against play against Tamayo and Quiambao companies... Francis Lopez play like a little bit like Giannis maybe he will be like the PINOY FREEKComment

Agree. A 6-foot-6 (which could be Lopez' maximum potential height) version of Thirdy Ravena (with inconsistent 3-pt. shooting) would be significantly better than a 6-foot-2 Thirdy Ravena.Originally posted by yogaflame View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

hoping against odds that he be a bit taller than 6'6.A little more than 6'7-6'8 without shoes would be fine.Then maybe we could match him up against Rui Hachimura in the future.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post"How small ball works: Tall Skilled beats small skilled every time,but small skilled beats tall stiff every time" - Kevin McHaleComment

Isn't Lopez 6'5 already? For sure he'll grow taller than 6'6.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View PostComment

6-foot-6 was just my conservative height projection of Lopez. He might end up standing 6-foot-7 (most likely) or even 6-8 (which would be great).Originally posted by theD View Post"A king may move a man, a father may claim a son, but that man can also move himself, and only then does that man truly begin his own game.

6'8 without shoes, may pass off as 6'9 in other leagues. International height for a power forward with guard skills.I hope he'll develop a KD type shooting and scoring mentality.Originally posted by JAMSKIE View Post"How small ball works: Tall Skilled beats small skilled every time,but small skilled beats tall stiff every time" - Kevin McHaleComment

I hope he patterns his game after Luka Doncic, with PG skills that isComment
