Few players seem to have more varied opinions than Lopez. I've heard he is a defensive prospect and also that he's a liability. I've heard that he's athletic and also that he's not. I've hear he's high motor and low motor. There are always polarizing players, but I don't think I can remember a player who has had such varied opinions about specific attributes. Probably due to few many actually watching him, but as someone who has also not watched him I'm confused AF.

He moves awkwardly. I think that's the main crux of the varied opinions.
He's not unathletic, but he's kind of clunky looking, especially when dribbling. But he's playing pretty well in a league where 18 year olds rarely have success
I swear I've seen people say that him being an athletic freak is his case as prospect. I'm not pretending to have a clue about him, the only time I saw him play was in that preseason game against the Jazz. I just can't remember a prospect with such varied opinions about him.
NBL games and highlights aren't that difficult to find. He also had quite a few Cashiggy videos before the NCAA season started.
In my opinion he's pretty fluid, especially for his size, but just not explosive at all.
He steps super heavy.
