The stats have never told the whole story for Bulls big man Robin Lopez. Known and respected leaguewide as a consummate professional and great teammate, the 11-year veteran was a steadying force for the Bulls on and off the court in 2018-19. Though his minutes and averages were a tick down for the past couple of seasons, Lopez finished second on the team in total games played and gave one of the league's youngest team a vital veteran perspective.
After a tough first month of the season in which Lopez struggled out of the gate, he steadied the ship and wound up being perhaps the team's most reliable game-to-game player down the stretch of the season.
