NBA: Ranking all 30 starting centers for 2018-19

20. Brook Lopez, Milwaukee Bucks

On the surface, Brook Lopez had a really down year with the Lakers, averaging a meager 13.0 points and 4.0 rebounds per game on 46.5 percent shooting. However, he also averaged 1.3 blocks a night, and more importantly for the Milwaukee Bucks, shot 34.5 percent from downtown on 4.4 attempts per game.

He’s not a long range sniper by any means, but defenses still have to respect Lopez’s 3-point range with as often as he launches from there. That should be a huge addition to a Bucks team that’s been craving extra floor-spacing to open up lanes for Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Lopez has always been an underwhelming rebounder for his size, but the 30-year-old vet still has plenty left in the tank to help Milwaukee move on from its underwhelming John Henson–Thon Maker duo at center.
