Yeah, we should see him tonight I'd guess. I figured we weren't seeing him cus he was on the shit list. The last couple of appearances for Zizic it looked like he wasn't engaged, unlike in the preseason and early games. He even missed two free throws in a row if I recall correctly and I thought they were near automatic for him. If I'm him and he gets in the game, he needs to make and impact in some manner. No slacking.

I was worried about that too. He missed some chippies and free throws in the past few games when before it seemed like he couldn't miss. He may have an attitude problem for all we know. He was a star in Europe and he basically hasn't gotten any time to play. Not everyone can handle that.

Hopefully Drew is willing to give Zizic a good amount of minutes while TT is out. We are already thin at PF, if we over extend Nance at center we might get even thinner with our big rotation. With the back spasms Cedi had, we shouldn't play him exclusively at PF. It would be short sighted to try to play alot of players out of position so they don't have to give Zizic minutes. Zizic should get a minimum of 20 minutes per game while TT is out so we don't over extend anyone.

You think they give him any minutes? If they are starting Frye maybe not.

I thought they would before they announced Frye was starting. Frye will space the floor better for Sexton but he has played less than Zizic this year. I think we still need Nance to play some minutes at PF so Zizic might have a chance at minutes.
Maybe the front office has been getting calls about Frye's availability. We have no clue if the front office is shopping TT and Love. Without all the vets on the team, does Frye want to be on the team or would he prefer to go to a contender?

Crazy that he didn't get any minutes tonight. Frye barely played in the second half. Drew needs to assess what he is doing because we need Nance to stay healthy for depth at both center and PF. We all know what Nance can do at center, PF is where I think his impact will be most felt in the future if he can knock down 3s. I also think PF is where Nance stays the healthiest.

They probably damaged his confidence. In a game against a weak NYK team, he still couldn't make it on the court. These coaches are brutal for developing a younger player.

Also, maybe he's just not very good yet?
And perhaps putting him out there and having him fail over and over again wouldn't exactly help build that confidence?

He has played before and played well ,,this year the few minutes he's gotten here and there have been rough.
That said if he can't get on the court for a 6-21 team against a bad knicks team and he's healthy they might as well package him
with JR and send him elsewhere because these guys don't know what to do with him.

Zizic has played well when given consistent minutes. When TT went out last spring, Zizic played very well - to the point where even analysts were wondering if TT had lost his spot in the rotation.
My guess is that he's demoralized and not looking good in practices.

That has to be a part of it all. The guy has tangible skills which do translate to the pro game. I understand throwing Frye a bone and hell, it IS only December 13th, so there is a LOT of season left. BUt....man, I would love to get a determination on this kid. He seems to play everyone BUT Zizic.
I think you've got a player here and at somepoint, Koby is going to come over to LD and have him test that theory.
