Don't misunderstand my post - I actually like Lomberg. He just isn't as defensively sound as Brouwer, and he definitely doesn't generate offence like Brouwer does RIGHT NOW.
I like Lomberg, he might be a good depth guy down the line, but he is without question not as good of a player as Brouwer is now (nor has he ever been as good as Brouwer during their respective ages).
A few more years Brouwer will be out of this league, and Lomberg might be in it, and of course he will be better. We are talking about right now, however, and I don't think there is a question that Brouwer does more to help this team win than Lomberg....
But if we had 22 guys playing as hard as Lomberg does every night, that would be awesome.
