I think it’s fair to say Brook Lopez belongs on the mini Mt. Rushmore of Milwaukee Bucks free agent signings. If they made statues for fringe moves (maybe ice carvings each winter?), Lopez would certainly be deserving. His staying power near the top of our ranking the roster exercise reflects what a transformative impact he’s had on this team, even as we’ve seen Giannis Antetokounmpo ascend this past postseason into his primacy as the pre-eminent “smallball” big. That Brook landed at four isn’t a surprise to me, but I do think he’s in a tier of his own, well below the big three but comfortably above the folks beneath him.
