The former Lakers center changed team again? He averaged 5 points and 2 rebounds per game in the playoffs. He played with the Rockets two years ago

In the free market this summer, there are many center players. Although in this era, many fans say that the center is very similar to the tool guy. Except for superstars like Nikola Jokic, other inside players can only be blue-collar workers. On the court, they are not only pick-and-roll, but also defend and grab rebounds, but the center with online strength is still more popular.

Former Lakers center Brooke Lopez, judging from the current situation, it seems that he will change teams again. According to relevant reports from reporter Matt Moore, the Bucks are likely to part ways with Brooke Lopez this summer. In addition to the latter's state declines significantly and is unlikely to renew their contracts at low wages, it is also because if the Bucks lose their star Antetokounmpo, they will directly choose to break up the team and rebuild. It will be meaningless to leave Brooke Lopez.

Speaking of Brooke Lopez, he should be the one with the most smooth transformation among the center players. In his early years, Brooke Lopez was a representative figure of strong offense and weak offense. Although he was selected as an All-Star, he was also questioned and his defensive end was even more colandered. He played for the Lakers for a short year and simply ushered in a huge decline. But after joining the Bucks, although Brooke Lopez's data was average, he cooperated with Antetokounmpo very well and rarely entered the inside on the offensive end, so he was responsible for shooting three-pointers, and his accuracy was quite good. At the same time, the two of them directly built the entire system on the defensive end. Antetokounmpo swept around, and Brooke Lopez was responsible for protecting the frame. In addition to directly sending block data, it could also interfere with the opponent's shooting and effectively lower the shooting rate.

However, when the player is old, his condition is easy to decline. Brooke Lopez is the same. He has not seen much in the regular season yet. After all, he averages 13 points, 5 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game. The total shooting percentage of the three events is about 170, which is definitely the top among center players. However, in the playoffs, he met the Pacers who played the fast whirlwind again. Brooke Lopez was completely lost, averaging 5 points and 1.6 rebounds per game, and his efficiency also fell to the bottom. In the fifth game when the Bucks were eliminated, he simply played for only 8 minutes. At that time, everything was probably a foregone conclusion.

In fact, two years ago, when Brooke Lopez became a free agent, he played with the Rockets. At that time, because of the large amount of salary space and the desire to upgrade the inside, the Rockets chose to pursue Brooke Lopez, and the two sides even reached an oral agreement. However, Brooke Lopez temporarily repents and finally chooses to renew his contract with the Bucks. Now, the 37-year-old veteran is probably not as popular as he was at that time.
