Milwaukee Bucks: Brook Lopez sets out the template for Thon Maker to follow

If there was anyone out there doubting just how much value Brook Lopez could bring to the Milwaukee Bucks this season, his play on the team’s recently completed Western Conference road trip must surely have silenced them.

Lopez signed with the Milwaukee Bucks over the offseason on a one year deal worth $3.4 million. The hope was he’d provide floor spacing from the center position for new coach Mike Budenholzer’s offense, even if that was just because the threat of his shooting would keep the defense honest. As it’s turned out, he’s already giving the Bucks much more as he cashes in on the looks the offense is creating for him.
