NBA update - fullmetal - 11-17-2010

Robin Lopez (C, Suns) is out for at least a month with a left knee sprain.  He\'s been starting though only playing about 15 min per game, and I\'d say his stats reflect that (they\'re nothing spectacular).

Brook (C, Nets) is scoring a lot of points but only shooting about 42% from the field with an average of over 15 shot attempts per game.  His rebounding numbers are way down (over 50% down), but at least his FT% has been good (86.8%).

Josh Childress (SG/SF, Suns) is playing about 20 min per game off the bench.  He\'s averaging almost 6 points per game and about 4 rebounds per game--nothing to write home about.

Jason (Hawks) and Jarron Collins (Clippers) are both hanging in there with average game time of less than 10 min.  Jason started four games for the Hawks while power forward Marvin Williams was out (Al Horford slid from center to power forward).  The Collins twins are both averaging less than 5 pts/game and less than 1 reb/game.

Landry Fields continues to impress.  Yesterday, he scored 21 pts and collected 17 rebounds on 66% shooting with a couple of steals and an assist.  He missed all three of his 3pt attempts, however.  Yahoo sports tells me that, "the double-double was the most points and rebounds in a single game by a Knicks rookie since Patrick Ewing in the 1985-86 season (28 points and 20 rebounds vs. Atlanta on Nov. 16, 1985)."  Before Sunday\'s game (two games ago), Fields was fifth in rookie scoring and first in rookie shooting percentage (among those with 5+ shots per game and more than one game played).

Did I miss anyone?  Brevin Knight is retired...

I met Jarron Collins at a tailgate before the UCLA football game this year.  Incredibly nice guy.  Very personable.  He described his role as a backup center as "break glass in case of emergency."

Starting Clippers center Chris Kaman is injured, so Jarron is now the nominal back-up center.  DeAndre Jordan, previously the back-up center, is the current starting center, and he\'s not exactly lighting things up.  Blake Griffin, wunderkind, is capable of playing center as well, which probably happens often.

David Thorpe, who\'s really knowledgeable on all things NBA, ranks Fields the third-best rookie so far: http://insider.espn.go.com/nba/insider/columns/story?columnist=thorpe_david&page=Rookies-101117
