The Milwaukee Cardinal

Duo: Brook Lopez and Robin Lopez

NBA team: Milwaukee Bucks

College team: Stanford Cardinal, 2006-07, 2007-08

Best NCAA Tournament finish: Sweet 16, 2007-08

Former Stanford Cardinal stars Brook and Robin Lopez have bounced around the NBA since their two seasons in college more than a decade ago.

But the twin brothers have reunited with the Milwaukee Bucks, courtesy of a summer signing that brought Robin Lopez to the Badger State.

Brook Lopez is a former All-Star whose outside shooting ability makes him a viable center for Milwaukee to start alongside reigning MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. He signed with the Bucks in 2018 after spending most of his career with the Brooklyn Nets, who drafted him with the No. 10 pick in 2008.

Robin Lopez, taken by the Phoenix Suns with the No. 15 pick in 2008, has come off the bench this season to contribute more than 13 minutes per game for the Bucks. Through 55 contests, he’s averaging just over 5 points and two rebounds, according to Basketball-Reference.

Robin Lopez’s career numbers are slightly better, at roughly 8.8 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.2 blocks per game. Brook Lopez, who’s played more minutes throughout his time in the NBA, is averaging almost 17 points per game to go with about 6.4 rebounds and 1.8 blocks.

Before they became fixtures of the NBA, the 7-foot twins spent two seasons at Stanford in 2006-07 and 2007-08. During their sophomore campaign, they led Stanford to a No. 3 seed in the NCAA Tournament.

The Cardinal advanced to the Sweet 16 that season before losing to Texas. Brook Lopez was named to the South Region’s All-Region team. He also made the All-Pac-12 Tournament team and the All-Pac-12 first team, while Robin Lopez made the conference’s All-Defense team.

Their college stats are telling of their dominance. Through two seasons, Brook Lopez averaged 16 points, 7.1 rebounds and 1.9 blocks per game, according to Sports Reference. Robin Lopez averaged 9 points, 5.6 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per contest.
