Zizic: Austin Ainge paying a visit!!!!

[BitterJim]

Yeah I don't really get the appeal of mickey.  He's about as average a prospect as it gets.  He can block shots but isn't athletic.  Not that mobile.  Not that offensively skilled.

Zizic and Yab actually have some nba level upside.  I never understood the fascination with Rj hunter either.  Very average players. Rj can shoot but same thing as Mickey.

Colton Iverson same thing.   Gabe Pruitt etc..

Agreed. Mickey and RJ were both clear misses for Ainge.

More a case where the draft wasn't very deep. There might be one or two rotation-level players taken in the 30 or so picks after those guys, especially in Mickey's case.

Interesting thought. Can anyone come up with 4-5 better prospects then Mickey and RJ from later draft picks?

Willy Hernangomez, Richaun Holmes, Andrew Harrison, and Josh Richardson are probably the only prospects after them I'd want (maybe Norman Powell too, he looked great against us).  There are more guys after them that have had more success than Hunter and Mickey thus far, too, but at that point you're comparing crap to crap and I'd rather just have an empty roster spot

wasnt Hernangomez taken with the 15th pick by denver?

Juan Hernangomez was, but his brother Willy Hernangomez was taken #35 overall in the 2015 draft by Philly.  He's averaging 5.5 points and 4.7 rebounds(!) in just 13.5 minutes per game this year.

Hernangonez and Richardson I like. Haven't seen those other guys play.

Nice, really hope he can replace Zeller by the end of the year, we really need a legit 7 foot body that isn't made of marshmallows to pair with horford

He's far better player then Zeller, already now. More dangerous in offense and a better rebounder. Can also hit the mid range shots.

Zizic can hit mid range jumpers? Good to hear, but I have not seen anything that shows this so far. What I do see are a LOT of dunks and layups.  Please share how you know he has a mid range game.

Thanks.

We can't bring him in this year, we don't have a cap hold for him. The earliest he can come over is summer 17

Zeler in the Adriatic league will look like Anthony Davis!

KO can be pretty staypuff at times too.

Yeah I know he's more solid, but you can't do anything if ainge decides to stash him for the whole year.

Yeah, but only in short stints. I love KO and I genuinely think he can be an above average starter someday, but C isn't his natural position, at least not when you're up against bruisers. You need a guy who can consistently bang inside, and aside from horford we don't have that guy here. Zizic has potential though.
