A 6'9" international forward with a strong frame and a promising blend of spot-up shooting, slashing, and rebounding ability. He has shown improvement in his three-point accuracy, allowing him to attack closeouts and use his power in 1v1 situations. Concerns are his defensive fundamentals, foot speed, and inconsistent effort on that end of the floor.

Lopez is in my opinion the 2nd best defender in the draft. Lopez is a great rim protector constantly getting blocks without fouling. He is a great perimeter defender too being able to stay with the best of guards in Oceania. I do believe Lopez has the potential to guard 1-5. His offense however needs work He can shoot catch & shoot 3s which is why he's shooting around 34%. He needs to learn to create shots. He is a good slasher but will this translate to the NBA? The only thing for sure that will translate is his defense. Recap: He is a raw prospect if he has the right coaching staff he will be a stud for years to come.
Ceiling: ? Floor: Jarred Vanderbilt
Strengths: Great rim protector Great Perimeter defender Has a nice catch and shoot game.
