Why is AA over there with Zizic?

When does his season over there end?  Could he come over and play with us this year if their season ends before ours?

Thanks,

Yay! haha.

It's a check-in to talk to him, give feedback on what he needs to work on for the NBA, and watch him practice and play up close and personal.  They stopped by Colton Iverson at least once, and obviously nothing became of that.

[fantankerous]

Ainge is scouting in Europe.  I'm sure he's simply making personal contact with Zizic while he's in the area.  This means nothing one way or another about him coming over this season.

Zizic was a good pick I feel over Iverson.  Same with Yabusele for that matter. Mickey is sort of ok but bleh..

[TrueFan]

We should just release Zeller and bring Zizic in. Let him get some reps in practice to get him ready for next year.

I don't think we will be seeing Mickey again unless a string of injuries happen.

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
