Even though the Los Angeles Lakers didn’t make playoffs this season, they made a lot of improvements compared to last season. With a great young core, the Lakers certainly have a bright future.
One of the players that have been a big part success for the Lakers this season has been center Brook Lopez. This past offseason, the Lakers acquired Lopez in the deal with the Brooklyn Nets that sent D’Angelo Russell to Brooklyn.
On the Nets, Lopez was an All-Star caliber player as one of the best offensive centers in the NBA. To start the season, Lopez appeared to have some troubles adjusting to the Lakers.
