Milwaukee Bucks: Media Day roundup 2018-19 season

Brook Lopez

Lopez on his view of joining Giannis and this Bucks squad:

"“Obviously, Giannis is a great player and does so many great things, but really the talent level for the young players here is just off the charts, pretty much 1-15. And what really impresses me about them is how well they play together, how well they play for each other, and they really seem to have experience beyond their years. They continue to get better each and every year, and I expect as a group we can take a big step this year.”"

Lopez on knowing exactly what his role will be with the Bucks:

"“It’s great having that initial role defined. Obviously it makes things a lot clearer, and we can get pretty far, pretty quickly. And I’m fortunate enough to kind of have been in this situation before playing for Kenny Atkinson in Brooklyn. You know, that’s one of Bud’s guys. And he was the one who really got me shooting threes in games. A lot of it from him was really just getting work in in the offseason, giving me the confidence, to shoot the ball and even miss in-game. So I think that definitely gives me an advantage coming here to play for Coach Bud.”"
