veteran New Mexico State guard with defensive toughness and limited scoring output
Sara Lopez gives New Mexico State a compact, experienced backcourt option, but her 2017-18 production was modest at 3.7 points per game on 26.1% shooting, so she is more of a role guard than a primary creator. Her value is in fit: a listed 5'7" guard who can provide depth, ball-handling, and defensive effort, with prior game experience in the Aggies’ system. If you need a high-usage scorer, she is not that; if you want a steady, low-drama guard who can compete hard and fill minutes, she is a reasonable roster piece.[2][5]
