I am not saying that he will be as good as Lebron James. I am just saying that, there is a potential that he can be the Lebron James of the Philippines.
And the analysts of high school basketball already agree because they are already calling him Francis "Lebron" Lopez.
In the now canceled Gilas bubble training camp, where only amateur players were involved, Lopez was highly praised.
Coach Tab Baldwin told the media that Francis will have a very very bright future. How bright should it be to reach that Lebron James of the Philippines level?
Take note that the very moment Lebron James entered the NBA, he was right away a top 15 player.
So, if that is our first mark, then Lopez should do his best and be part of our Gilas line-up for the 2023 FIBA basketball.
He will be 20 years old at that time. Yes, very young, but if he is really that special, as in more special than the Kobe Paras, Ray Parks and etc. of the past, he should be able to achieve it!
And I think, it is not that bad of a bet.
The guy is as athletic as Ray Parks. Actually, Lopez is jumpier and he seems to be stronger at 18 years old.
His skills could be a game-changer. Can he develop it soon, enough?
