After signing with the Milwaukee Bucks as a free agent last summer, Robin Lopez lived up to billing and will hope to kick on in the playoffs.
The Milwaukee Bucks spent years with center being a major problem area in their rotation, until Brook Lopez signed ahead of the 2018-19 season and helped to play a role in transforming both the team’s style of play and their fortunes in a larger sense.
Therefore, when it came to the matter of finding a suitable backup to solve Milwaukee’s center problems once and for all, the only logical thing to do was to bring in Brook’s twin brother Robin Lopez last summer.
