The 7'1 Croatian Elephant In the Room

It's not like Chandler and McGee have stamina for high energy play for 24 min each or more depending on matchup. I think McGee is best at 20 mpg, Tyson at 10-12 and rest should go to Zubac but with LeBron or Rondo on the floor

Up that trade value Big Zu!! People might be talking about him as a piece in a trade as deadline comes near if he keeps this up.

....this is why you have the crafty vets around the kids.... we didn't see this when our crafty vets were Deng and Mozgov....

I had already forgot about them. Holy hell, what an upgrade.

TBH....as happy as I am, I'd like to see the kid keep this up before I get too excited. 3 games is nice....but let's see you maintain this through Jan.

McGee has asthma pretty bad already. That he's been out for a week+ and couldnt hit the sidelines to pick up his ring, aughta alarm folks. I'm not sure he's gonna be ready to go for a while. Zu may very well play through Jan without this being an issue at all.

I vote we take it from there, once the sample size on our 'new found talent' gets a little meatier.

Yes, we will see. My guess is that when Ingram and Ball will be initiating the offense we won't see the easy looks he got when Bron was doing it. Neither is the threat to finish at the rim Bron is. The GS game he had a good matchup in that GS has no one his size. The Memphis game was the impressive one with the former DPOY in Gasol out there.

The bold part is the key to his success IMHO.

Consider who is going good when called upon.

Here’s the thing, Zu will do fine for another 5-6 games or so. Then opponents will have scouted him and start playing to his discomfort zone, be it physicality or whatever else. A few more games of him being close to 20-10 and he’ll start getting people’s attention.

Even from pelicans.

Regardless, it’s great to see him grow up and become a legit NBA big.
