Theoretically Ante Zizic

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
I don't know how he could be healthy if he didn't play in last nights game.

He did all the pre-warmups & shoot around before the game. My guess is he's in Drew's dog house for something.
 
The Cavs watch this guy in practice every day and still opted for an ancient Channing Frye and two G-Leaguers over him once Tristan went down.

Think about it.
 
I really wander if Ante even enjoys basketball. I think there's an attitude issue with him.
 
Or maybe he's just not that talented.
Well, then you must only watch box scores and not games. He has absolutely shown talent when on the court. Is he a perfect player? No. Does he need to get in better shape and gain some quickness? Yes. Is it possible that he'll never be quick enough to contribute to a playoff/contender? Yes, absolutely.

But not developing a young asset, and not giving him ON COURT TIME DURING games, is a waste of that asset. Regardless of whether or not he fits our future plans, WE ARE WASTING AN ASSET.

So, again, this line of thinking is stupid. There is NO EXCUSE for not developing Zizic with IN GAME MINUTES. None.

The only thing that would make sense is that he's being uncoachable and is having an attitude issue of some kind, as @Soar and @Douglar have mentioned. If that's the case, then I understand why they would be holding him out or forcing him to learn a hard lesson. Otherwise, it makes no sense to waste a tradeable asset by not giving him time on the court.

I think he is probably frustrated. The times I have seen him on the court this year he is playing with guys that are either unwilling
to pass to the post or are just so completely awful at it timing wise he's getting the ball to far out away from the hoop.
I thought once Delly came on board we would finally see him play with someone who is willing to share the ball and knows how to make an entry pass.
Could be his attitude is a problem ,,,but usually those kind of problems leak out and I haven't heard anything like that.
Personally I get no pleasure watching Drew trot out the corpse of Channing Frye,,makes me not want to go to the games or watch and follow the team.
 
Last year they were saying how much potapenko liked him. What happened that they let him go and didn't replace him?

Big perk too

Ye we wasting an asset. Fucking cavs.

The Cavs already picked up his option for next year. There clearly is a disconnect between a front office that thought it was worthwhile to pick up his option, and a coaching staff that would rather play Blossomgame and Frye at center before Zizic.
