Doubt it. He barely played last night, and they started Jeff Green at center in that game. He's just not ready enough on defense.

Tend to agree, guy makes Monroe look like Terry Rozier. He’s slow as molasses

:lol: True. He still has a good motor and is a better shot blocker than Monroe.

Yes I think he’s shown enough that he can stick in the league as a specialist. Bang down low, grab some boards and contest a shot or two but I question his overall ceiling. Think the game has passed his type by much like a guy like Boban for example. Boban has skills but just gets torn to pieces in the pick and roll over and over again because he’s just too big and slow.

Starter today against the Bulls.
20 minutes
14 points
6 rebounds
1 block
7/9 field goals (77,8%)

I think there is no doubt he can make a NBA career. He will never be a star, but he can bring solid minutes defending, rebounding, and he can play the pick and roll. If he works in his quickness and speed, and develops a middle range shoot, I think he could be a starter in some NBA teams for the years to come.
I would be happier if we hadn't sent him to Cleveland in the pack.

Happy for Zizic. He is playing well lately. He is ready. I wouldn’t count this guy out. He has talent, size and heart.

Zizic with another very good game tonight. 13 points and 6 rebounds in only 16 minutes. 4-6 shooting from the field, 5-5 from the line. 1 block.

I always liked him way better than Yabu and did not regard him as just a throw in. Think he'll be at least a quality backup if not blossom into a good starter.

Really slow, I was shocked at how slow he was in the Summer League. But he should still be a serviceable role player in the NBA.

I think it’s fools gold. I sat courtside at a couple Canton Charge games this year that he played in and he looked so lost and SO SLOOOOW. Anthony Bennett was working him before he got sick.
I brings the ruckus to the ladies!
