Re: Z-Rex: The Cody Zeller Thread - Pt 2
As i said a few days ago. He has more potential out of him MKG and Biyombo. Its really not even close.

I humbly disagree.

Re: Z-Rex: The Cody Zeller Thread - Pt 2
Zeller might have the most potential, he has more offensive potential than MKG and Biz combined and because of his athleticism he has pretty good defensive potential, MKG and Biz have little offensive potential and lots of defensive potential

Lol. A player who is better than both of them combined offensively and is good defensively as well? Biyombo still cant catch a basketball. So he really shouldn't be in the convo. MKG cant shoot nor finish. Good defender though. Take your pick

"It's really not even close."?

I know Cody Zeller has been serviceable & resourceful lately, but it's not like he's putting up Gorgui Dieng numbers. I can respect the homerism, but homerism within homerism is disputable

Zellers also a better athlete than either one of them.

How is he better than both of them offensively combined when his career high is 15?!?

You're right. Dieng is a center that puts Biyombo to shame.

Re: Z-Rex: The Cody Zeller Thread - Pt 2
Elite defensive potential and very little offensive potential (MKG/Biz) or good potential on offense and defense (Zeller)
MKG and Biz may be really good on one end of the floor but Zeller would be the better all-around player

How easily you forget that Bismack Biyombo had a quite the few stat stuffed games as a rookie just like Gorgui Dieng and is still 3 years younger?

Re: Z-Rex: The Cody Zeller Thread - Pt 2
Act like you've watched this team since the all star break and with a straight face while youre typing say MKG and Biyombo is better than Zeller offensively. If you can do that congrats

Biyombo has never had a 20/20 game. Doubt he ever will. You have to be able to catch a freaking basketball to do that. Thats also nearly 2 years ago. Adding to my point

Re: Z-Rex: The Cody Zeller Thread - Pt 2
I would also like to argue the notion that Zeller is better offensively than MKG & Biyombo combined. What's the thesis if Zeller's per 36 is only 12 points? I understand the over-enthusiasm, but I had to rebut

He's had a 14/14 game, a 13/17 game, 12/14 game, and a 10/15 game. Biyombo is just as capable as Dieng
