Raul is one of the most clever and intuitive playmakers in European basketball, and only serious injuries in his right knee prevented him of becoming one of the greatest ever. Those injuries kept him out of the national team for six years, but he returned last summer for the Beijing Olympic Games and is set to repeat at EuroBasket 2009. Lopez is a thrilling player, full of talent who has incredible ball handling skills and awesome court vision and passing skills. He is not selfish and always puts his teammates first. He rarely takes many shots... but when he does, he is a real threat from long range and off the dribble.
