zizic-isn't the answer....yet- we have a huge hole upfront

[OldSchoolDude]

David Blatt needed to win. His role for Zizic was on offensive boards to clean up misses and make as few mistakes as possible.
His teammates didn't yet trust him on pick rolls. Many times he was open in paint and they took contested shots
All season,he took zero 3 point shots but is a good foul shooter,he only took a few mid range and didn't look bad.How he fits today's NBA is depending on his developing a mid range and an occasional three.
If Brook Lopez at his age can and Al Horford did but it will take time.
Is Nerlens Noel, O'Quinn,Brook Lopez available
We desperately need help up front.

I think you have watched your film and kept up with Zizic. I'm having the same problem, even posted a tp for anybody that can find me video of Zizic hitting a turn-around jumper....nothing.

I think he is a Steven Adam's type player maybe Steven Adam's lite.

Do you have any video showing Zizic using a post move or turn-around/fade away jumper?

Zizic doesn't have moves like the dream shake but he scores in the post at will and with either hand.  He isn't a finesse big, he's old school, big, nasty, and exactly what we need.

I think you misunderstood. I've been watching videos of this guy since we drafted him and still have yet to see him make a turn-around/fade away jumper. I don't care if he scores on drop-steps and baby hooks....that is to be expected.

I don’t believe I do.   I don't care if he can make a turn-around/fade away jumper.  He doesn’t need to fade away, he is going through people and if he can keep going through people in the NBA that’ll be awesome.  Zizic power dunks and he uses drop-steps and baby hooks to score.  I don’t know if he’ll be able to dunk through starting caliber NBA centers (some teams I think yes, but not most) but I do believe that he can hit his drop-steps and baby hooks any time he wants, even against top level centers. In 2018 if the ball bounce our way again we’ll get DeAnre Ayton and you’ll have a big man who can make a turn-around/fade away jumper and can bring it in the low post.  But until then an inside outside game with Horford and Zizic is fine by me.   Sure I’d love to get a seasoned big man who can do all those things but there not readily available.

There's some decent starting bigs that should be available until Zizic is ready. Alex Len, Nene, Greg Monroe, Dedmon..

I am intrigued by Alex Len, he looked great coming out of college but was slowed with injuries and then has been lost behind Tyson Chandler.  I didn’t know he was available this year.   Len and Zizic could be a good one two center combination.

A more creative idea - if we can get Hayward, trade Crowder and Rozier to Knicks for #8 and Kyle O'Quinn. It clears the salary we need, and gives us a nice rotation big. We use the pick to select Zach Collins, who I think will be a quality big and would fit into our playing style well.
