NBA Free Agency Preview: 10 Lesser Talked About Names

Robin Lopez

Robin Lopez (3.8 nERD) didn't have the best year of his career in 2015. Lopez missed 23 games due to injury and averaged just 27.8 minutes per game -- down from 31.7 in 2014. But on the bright side, Lopez missed zero regular season games in his previous two seasons, so there's not really a reason for teams to be scared away this summer.

Lopez's consistent production is also a good reason for teams to vie for his talents. In his two seasons prior to his injury riddled campaign Lopez averaged over 11 points per game each season while shooting 53% and 55% from the field, respectively. Lopez also shot 78% and 82% from the free throw line in those two years and managed to block nearly two shots per contests. He's an efficient player all around as shown by his PER of 18.9, 17.7 and 16.2 in the past three seasons.

RoLo is likely headed out of Portland after the Blazers traded for youthful big man Mason Plumlee on draft night. However, those looking for a center with Lopez's skillset will not be in short supply. The Celtics are very interested and the Bucks will turn their attention to Lopez if their other free agent options fall through.
