Meet the Brooklyn Nets’ $312 Million Starting Lineup
Center: Brook Lopez, 24
Lopez is a 7-footer who played two years of college ball at Stanford before entering the draft in 2008, when he was chosen by the New Jersey Nets. He’s coming off a 2011-12 campaign in which he played only five games due to a broken foot, and while his ability to score points has never really been questioned, he needs to become a better rebounder—in his last full season, he averaged only 6 boards per game, which is simply unacceptable for a player of his size.
