Watching the Maine game replay now. Nader with 6 threes looks impressive. A step back three for the game clincher. He was so hot, it almost seemed like his teammates didn't want to pass to him in the final minutes and he looked frustrated. I bet most guys just want to showcase themselves instead of giving the ball up, especially to a guy who's lighting it up.

During Nader's first couple of games down in Maine, I made a comment that he looked like LeBron lite out there.
Right now, I can see that he's more of a Paul George kind of player. Not saying he'll be as good as Paul George of course. But down there at maine, he's in PG level :lol: and it seems he plays like him. He can do a little bit of everything.

Zizic started and played 33 minutes today in Euroleague competition. 13 pts on 5/7 from the field. 3/3 ft , 5 reb, 1 blockshot
Not that bad. He is on the right track

Boxscore is below

Great sign that Zizic has earned a starting position so quickly. Id call Denver and offer Yabs for Nurkic straight up and see if they bite

I'd rather offer a 2018 Bos no. 1 and Rozier.

Zizic's got to get those rebound numbers up.

He's got a pretty good celebration game going so that's a bonus.

Brown likes to dunk, Zizic likes to dunk. LBF is going to be so happy next year

Lately the rebounding has been okay. Turnovers have been a bigger problem, and should be his biggest priority before he plays next season.

I find the lack of dunks disturbing recently.

From the summerleague and down there at Maine, Nader really looks like an NBA player.
He's smart, knows how to use his body, and has a good size for his position.
