Theoretically Ante Zizic

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Yep and he is looking quicker contesting too. He hasn't been great on the perimeter, but he can come out more than a lot guys his size. Loved when he contested Tatum and just totally blocked his way to the basket leading to a terrible sky hook.

He's not a switchable 5, but his cement feet were overstated. He wasn't reacting fast enough because he wasn't up to game speed.

Also his screens are really good. Can be Nurkic level if he keeps working on them. We need some damn shooter now
Always thought he was part of a core going forward. Osman and Sexton have question marks now but I really think that the surrounding talent. The fact that this team doesn’t fit together really effects their play
 
Love his game.

Zizic haters will soon understand how misused and disrespected he had been and still is by the coaches and his teammates. If it won't show on this team it will show on his future team.

Come talk to me when we’re winning games, and he putting up those type of stats, and don’t get it wrong, I’m rooting for him.....Contract aside I take a healthy TT over him any day of the week, the motors are not even close.....

I don't think that's fair. We saw last year with LeBron that Zizic was able to produce on a winning team, and produce big time numbers when given the opportunity.

It's not his fault that he is surrounded by the least efficient offense I've seen since Pre-LeBron and maybe the worst defense of all time.

That's a pretty low thresh hold. Daniel Gibson was able to produce next to Lebron. Cedi was able to produce next to Lebron. Sexton would be able to produce next to Lebron. I bet the over bone chunks from my wife's bunion surgery would be able to produce next to Lebron. Cavs problem is that they need players that can produce when they are not playing next to Lebron.

That said, Zizic is looking like one of the better players on the team. He just way shy of being able to a team out of the mud by himself. And that makes him a pretty replaceable guy, much like the rest of the roster. He's probably better than Zeller, but I can't convince myself that he's a whole lot better than Zeller was in 2013.

For what it's worth, Zeller was still in the middle of his senior year at UNC when he was the same age Zizic is now. 22-year-old Zizic is almost certainly better than 22-year-old Zeller, maybe by a lot.
 
11-9-1 in 26 minutes, on 4-7 shooting with a team-high +7 +/-. I have no idea wy we went away from him in the second half.


That's easy - because Clarkson had to take his 11 shots to get his 6 points. Couldn't waste any more opportunities on Zizic.
 
This guy is going to go back to DNP coach's decisions once Love and TT get back. You can just tell with how Drew is treating him now. He had 12 points on 60% shooting and 12 rebounds in just 23 minutes despite having guards who seem incapable of getting him good looks.

He should start over T.T, because he can get you the same rebounds but with a reliable offense.

Cannot figure why he does get more mins or respect from this organization. Right now I think he is a key cog in the rebuild. I am not giving up on Sexton because of his age and how most other lottery picks are struggling but if zizic had a solid pg right now .... wish he would be paired with delly more

I can't wait to see Zizic paired with Love. As for sexton, he is raw right now. We really need a coach that knows how to develop players. hopefully our starters next year will be:

1. sexton
2. berret
3. Cedi
4. Love
5. Zizic

Along with a new coaching regime
