Milwaukee Bucks: Brook Lopez reaching new heights as defensive anchor

It hasn’t been the easiest start for starting Milwaukee Bucks big man Brook Lopez this 2019-20 season.

On the offensive end, Lopez has endured through a lengthy cold shooting spell and while he has shown recent signs of breaking out of his slump, Splash Mountain’s ability to space the floor hasn’t been on par with what he was able to do last year as he’s currently hitting just 28.7 percent of his 87 three-point tries this season.

The Bucks and Lopez have found other ways to open up the veteran’s offense and use him as a key valve within the Bucks’ offensive system, whether it’s using him more as a roll man or throwing it down to Lopez in the low post with his back to the basket when they want to slow the game down/muster tough buckets.
