Even before the Milwaukee Bucks’ 2019-20 season was paused, Brook Lopez was searching for answers.
The man known as Splash Mountain had helped catalyze the Bucks’ five-out offense throughout the 2018-19 season by solidifying his transformation as a seven-foot 3-point sniper, but Lopez struggled mightily to get out of a season-long shooting funk this year.
While there have been glimpses of hope in Lopez ironing out his stroke with 3-point outbursts on rare nights, the veteran center’s 29.6 percent shooting from that range of the floor has been a big factor in enduring through the worst offensive campaign of his career where he’s currently stuck on 11 points per game.
