Los Angeles Lakers center Brook Lopez had an up-and-down first season in Hollywood. The Lakers acquired Lopez from the Brooklyn Nets, along with the draft pick that turned into Kyle Kuzma, from the Brooklyn Nets. In exchange, the Lakers sent D’Angelo Russell and Timofey Mozgov to Brooklyn.
The Lakers had high hopes for Lopez. He was expected to solidify the middle for the Lakers, as his 3-point shooting and rim protection were both needed. Unfortunately, Lopez fell short of expectations.
Lopez ended up having a lackluster season in Los Angeles.
