Kevin mchale body? seems better than zeller though.. faster, with longer arms... hope he improves to come over next year

[mr. dee]

Wow, he is quick for a big. He capable of defending the perimeter without getting burned.

[Ed Hollison]

Looks like a guy who can body up big guys down low, but not be a complete liability moving around the perimeter. And he's got good hands. Oh yeah, and he's 19. Sign me up.

[footey]

Doesn't swing ball down before going up, which is good.

Reminds me of a more offensively gifted version of Perk.  Very similar rhythm to his game, similar build too. Seems to have his nastiness.

Great motor and mobility. A lot of easy looks at the hoop, but had a nice jumper and looked solid at the line. I also liked that pass out of the double team when he easily could have forced it.

I agree with the nasty streak - doesn't look like he is going to take a lot of crap.

[Donoghus]

Man, that kid has quite the frame on him, huh?

[beantownboy171]

I love having these European players waiting in the wings. I think one day we will come to see that Danny dispelled two myths this offseason. That, one, no major free agents will sign with us and, two, Danny doesn't know how to draft European talent.

Zizic has an impressive frame and motor. He also appears to have adequate shooting mechanics to stretch his offense into the midrange.

[SHAQATTACK]

This is the guy we need ....add 25 pounds of muscle and a mean nasty  attitude to go with it.

[fubar089]

I see a young version of varejao.

good mobility, good hips, has length, tough and has a nice jumper to go with it.

[PickNRoll]

Definitely an NBA caliber player.  19 years old.  Heaps of potential.

[alldaboston]

he looks good. lets see how he does the rest of the season over there. hopefully hes good enough to come over next year and replace zeller.

[danglertx]

And he loves to work out... well pull ups at least.

[Big333223]

Wow, he is quick for a big. He capable of defending the perimeter without getting burned.

Yeah, I don't know how transferable it will be to the NBA but there was one good moment in there of him absolutely staying with a perimeter guy on the drive. Looked nice.

He's going to have to cut out that hanging on the rim business when he gets to the NBA, though.

yeah that was the play that impressed me as well.  now maybe that guard doesn't have NBA speed, but Zizic made a nice adjustment without fouling and used his size well.  Hopefully he can continue to develop and join us next year.
