Sadly, someone is going to read that, and actually think he is... I get you were trying to make a joke, but it was a weak attempt.

Doncic??
Cmon, no one is going to think hes 13th C in league. But list is weird, Saric played maybe 20-30 mins as C this year.
You underrate Ante, he is very talented. I expect him to be similar to Nurkic, hope to see them against each other tomorow

That's because the list is stupid. You would rarely take a rookie today over an established vet.
You want John Henson 9ver Zizic? I don't. Most of those guys aren't even centers anyway. I'd take him over Mozgov lol.
I take him over Len who just got pushed around.
I predict in 1 year he surpasses a bunch of guys on that list. He needs playing time. We saw a fade away jump shot last night. Is that a fluke? We have no idea we have only seen it one time.

His age/development gives a lot hope for continued increase in minutes. Doubt it especially with Love coming back and the end of the season approaching. Most impressive for me are his hands and how like a previous post stated, he does not bring the ball down and risk turnovers like TT.

I’d take your post more seriously if you actually explained what you don’t like about his Game besides being white and from the Euroleague.

Can't shoot 3's, can't dunk like DeAndre, can't block shots like Whiteside.
What's there to like?

I like zizic but i do worry about his size and style of play. By that I mean his game style is that of a traditional 5 bit he's a bit short for that game considering the size of modern athletic 4s and 5s. If he gets much stronger I think that will help. Bit o worry about his lack of foot speed without the extra size to compensate.

He is 6'11 with very high shoulders. His Wingspan is 7'3 which is just slightly above average(7'2.6 is average), but his standing reach is 9'3 which is great(9'1 is average) because of his high shoulders.
Steven Adams for example is 7'0 has a 7'4.5 Wingspan, but only 9'1 standing reach. Cody Zeller on the other spectrum is 7'0 and has a 6'11 Wingspan and 8'10 Standing reach.
Zizic plays even bigger than his size and he can easily shoot over the biggest Centers in the league with his soft hook. He should have no problems playing his game.
Summer 2016 he measured 6'11.5" in shoes, 7'3" wingspan, 9'3" standing reach. If he adds another 10-15 pounds of muscle he'll be right around league average for a starting center, I'd think. Still has a ways to go skill-wise to be a real impact player, of course.
EDIT: shakes fist at @Sir'Dom Pointer

His soft touch around the basket is pretty impressive. He has a very high fg% because it often rolls in.
His post moves look sort of advanced to me. He isn't going to take many of those a game, but he seems more than capable.

Not to nitpick but I think that means broader shoulders for Adams, not higher for ante

I'd like to add though that he should have mid range game already and if not this year then the next. With his touch and work ethic he should be pretty damn fine on the offensive end.
I think he is going to have a similar touch and percentages to Jokic from inside the arc.

Most likely broader shoulders for Adams as Wingspan=shoulders/chest circumference and arms length, and higher shoulders and higher scapula elevation means higher standing reach.
So like I said, Adams lower standing reach is because he shoulders are more downsloping compared to Ante's bigger standing reach because of higher shoulders.
