Milwaukee Bucks: Can Brook Lopez maintain defensive importance?

Transforming himself from a free agent bargain to integral piece of their current foundation, Brook Lopez has been a tailor-made fit for the Milwaukee Bucks.

There was true synergy to Lopez’s reinvention as a seven-foot three-point gunner over recent seasons and finding a home with the Bucks, which coincided with the arrival of reigning NBA Coach of the Year, Mike Budenholzer.

The man known as Splash Mountain provided the perfect outlet for the Bucks to create a true five-out offensive system that gave Bud and Co. the necessary blueprint for the team’s stars and supporting cast to thrive alike.
