Last 10 games
20,2 ppg
12,5 rpg
2,8 apg
1,3 bpg

net rating +8,8
65% TS

guy just crushed both Ware and Adebayo, few days ago outplayed Towns, Duren fouled out in 20 min against him.

Guy is massive and most teams aren't equipped to defend him. Case and point- Heat game.

Leading the league in hook shots, elite in post scoring PPP. Top 10 defender this year easily (maybe closer to top 7).

On the entire season he’s around 16/12/3. The scary thing is most games he doesn’t even get the ball in the 4th. He has many games with only 5-8 shots. Is Zubac severely underrated? Where does he rank among centers?

I have him at number 6 after these guys (Embiid doesn’t play so doesn’t count)

Jokic
Wemby
KAT
Sabonis
Sengun

Give me Zubac over fools gold Sabonis any day. He really shut me up, a year ago we had debate about centers, and I had Zu as bottom 5 starting center in a league.

He’s ahead of Sabonis and Sengun on impact. His defense is SIGNIFICANTLY better. Hell I don’t think impact wise Sengun has matched Zubac any given year. Sabonis is more debatable.

In EPM the only centers he’s behind is Joker, Wemby, Mobley, AD, Chet. But he’s not far behind Chet. In WS/48 he’s around 7-8. Not disagreeing with you placing him 6th more just saying the players you have ahead may not be the right guys lol.

He's a clear all-star to me this season.


Impact wise he’s been the best Clipper, ahead of even Harden and Powell IMO.

Don't love the regression at the line, but otherwise, he's been pretty strong. Honestly, it's been like, what, 4 years of this on a per-minute basis already? Basically since arriving with the Clippers.

Looks good.

Yea, but what about the memories?

Nothing can replace that
