zizic looks huge

[PhoSita]

He appears very raw, but he reminds me a bit of Steven Adams in the way he's built and moves around on the court.

I'd say he will make a pretty solid zeller replacement in a year or two! I like his effort!

If that's all he can do, that'll be disappointing for where he was picked.

My hopes are a little higher (rotational big).

I am not sure that "disappointing" would be a fair characterization if he has a career similar to Zeller.  He is a 23rd pick who was willing to go away for a couple of years and come back when we need him more (or be used in a trade).  Even to say he will be Zeller is a big if though.  It is still pretty much impossible to project the future talent/ability of a 19 year old with any accuracy.

 he likes to bang,likes to rebound offensively thats not zeller
-zeller had a killer mid range in 2015 and uses both hands with soft touch on flip hooks and runs the court all day-zeller is quite skilled

[Ed Hollison]

In a couple years he could be a key rotational player, and that's just fine for the 23rd pick in the draft.

It was a smart pick by Ainge. The Celtics didn't have the roster spot and wanted to maintain cap space, so they needed stashable guys. Zizic is super young, a hard worker, good motor. Roll the dice and see what he becomes.

One concern I have is that the 7-footer who can't shoot from deep and handle the ball is falling by the wayside in the modern NBA. But then I recall guys like Steven Adams (already mentioned), Bogut, etc. You still need guys like that on your roster to win a title.

He reminds me of a center version of Aaron Gordon.

[Chef Parish]

Maybe he can get even bigger if he can hang on the rim longer and maybe do some extra chinups.

 Not sure about that Comp Walker, Zizic is a solid athlete, But Gordon is probably a better athlete than Brown.

Yeah it would take a bit to get Zizic into the elite athleticism category.  He can block shots though.

Thanks for the pic, OP.  I can see exactly what you mean about his biggness.

My guess is we have different takes on Zeller. TZ is coming into his prime as a third stringer on a competitive, but not dominant, Celtics team that is weakest up front. If that's what Zizic pans out as, IMO that will be disappointing.
