Brook Lopez could see a potential 'twin towers' role with Ivica Zubac on Clippers
The Clippers team Brook Lopez grew up watching as a young kid in Southern California is not that same franchise anymore. These Clippers are about putting a winning product on the court and about putting together the right talent to win games — and that is what sold Lopez on signing with them. Advertisement 'It's crazy to see, but it's very cool — seeing the climb, the ascent,' Lopez said Monday afternoon at a news conference hours before the Clippers and Lakers played each other in an NBA Summer League game at Nevada Las Vegas. 'I'm a Cali boy. I grew up in the Valley, in North Hollywood. Obviously things were very different back then and to see where the Clippers have come now, it's just astonishing, it's beautiful. I'm glad to be a part of it and hopefully I can help take them even further up.' Read more: Despite injury, Kobe Brown showcases his potential for Clippers in Summer League win Lopez decided not to return to the Bucks after seven seasons in Milwaukee and opted not to sign with the Lakers, joining the Clippers on a two-year, $18-million deal. He liked the idea of playing with Kawhi Leonard, James Harden and Ivica Zubac, a former teammate when they played on the Lakers in 2017-18, and for Clippers coach Tyronn Lue. Lopez also had a connection with Lawrence Frank, the Clippers' president of basketball operations. Frank was the coach of the New Jersey Nets when Lopez was there. Advertisement 'Looking at my options, I was just thrilled the Clippers reached out and were one of them,' Lopez said. 'They've been a great team for quite a while now. They have a ton of great players, obviously Hall of Famers, All-Stars, great young players. My guy Zubi! And there is a great chance to win a championship here.'

Schaben/Los Angeles Times) Over the course of his career, Lopez has been a starting center. He played in 80 games last season with the Bucks, averaging 31.8 minutes per game. And he was still productive at 37, averaging 13 points, 5.0 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 1.9 blocks, while shooting 50.9% from the floor and 37.3% from three-point range. But Zubac has emerged as one of the top centers in the NBA, even making the NBA's All-Defensive second team. Advertisement Out of the 1,105 regular-season games Lopez has played, he has started in 1,064. With the Clippers, however, he'll likely come off the bench. 'I'm just trying to come in and help the team win,' Lopez said. 'Whatever that may look like, that's what I'm here to do. Wherever my minutes may come from when I'm on the court, the beginning of the game, middle of the game, end of the game, I'm trying to be out there trying to help my team win and beat the other team on the court.' Because he can stretch the floor with his outside shooting, the 7-foot-1 Lopez can see a world in which he and 7-0 Zubac are on the court playing together. 'I think we complement each other extremely well,' Lopez said. 'Obviously, we'll be very big. I think we'll be great defensively, just dominating the paint, sealing the paint off. And then offensively, we complement each other there as well. I'll spread the floor for him, give him all the room in the paint to go wild.'

He was impressed by the arena that Clippers owner Steve Ballmer built and that also played a role in his decision. 'He texted me right away, (saying) how excited he was to have me on the team,' Lopez said. 'I told him the same thing back. I'm excited to win and I think that's what we're all here for and it's going to be so much fun.'

Prep talk: Birmingham's Antrell Harris reaches peak form with 10.24 in 100 meters
On Feb. 22, Antrell Harris of Birmingham High started the track season running the 100 meters in 11.07 seconds. Then, at last week's state championship, on the first day of qualifying, he ran a stunning 10.24 seconds to finish third in a race Jaden Jefferson of Concord De La Salle set a state record at 10.01 seconds. Harris, the City Section champion, ended up eighth in the final on Saturday, but his 10.24 100-meter time would have broken the City Section record held by Quincy Watts (the record has to happen at the City finals). Advertisement Asked how he made so much improvement (his previous fastest time was a wind-aided 10.62 at Mt. SAC), Harris said, 'To be honest, I don't know. I had a great start and trusted everything Coach Carruth put me through.' Yes, there's always a coach behind someone who makes dramatic improvement, and the arrival of Kertic Carruth in March made a huge difference. He noticed Harris was fast but not strong. He got him working in the weight room, had him gain 10 pounds and made him run the 400 instead of sprints leading up to the City finals. He kept telling Harris to 'trust the science.' With a 4.1 grade-point average and having been a star receiver for Birmingham's successful football teams, Harris would appear to be a top college prospect for track programs. But he said on Monday he had received no calls after his 10.24 performance. Advertisement Carruth said it will happen. Harris just needs someone to believe that he's getting faster and faster. Times don't lie. His grades don't lie. His work ethic is outstanding. "He's an easy sign," Carruth said. This is a daily look at the positive happenings in high school sports.
