Official Ante Zizic Darussafaka Thread

[Rick Robeys Return]

So Zizic played his first game for David Blatt and Darussafaka tonight. I didnt watch but the line seems alright.

TOMIC, ANTE   25:16   16pts on 8/8,  2 Boards, 5 assists

And the highest Performance Index Rating (whatever that measures?!) at 23

Looking forward to the Tomasz Kordylewski youtube highlights post!

Edit: See below: Tomic and Zizic are different players. -RH

p.s. Im assuming that the box score reference to Ante Tomic is supposed to be Zizic, since there is no Tomic on Darussafaka

[Bostoncelticsforlife7]

Wow that's very impressive. He went 8/8 in 25 minutes!

[Phantom255x]

Ante Tomic is the other team lol. That's the wrong line.

Ante Tomic plays for FC Barcelona Lassa, the team Darussafaka were playing.

[Phantom255x]

UPDATE: Ante Zizic had 4 points on 2/4 shooting and 6 total rebounds in 16 minutes.

OP, you read the wrong line. Ante Tomic is a real player playing for FC Barcelona Lassa. Ante Zizic's opponent.

Scroll down the box score a bit more.

SIGN ANTE TOMIC!

The next step is to beat out Erden for the starting job.
Not that easy conaidering he is a veteran player and a Turk, but thats the next thing.
Go Ante go!

[Phantom255x]

Guys, that stat line is NOT for Ante Zizic.

It's for a player on the other team (FC Barcelona Lassa) by the name of Ante Tomic.

Darussafaka were playing FC Barcelona Lassa.

Zizic actually had 4 points on 2/4 shooting and 6 rebounds in 16 minutes of action.

Erden has been a Turkish League All-Star 3 of the last 4 seasons.  I'm not going to be disappointed in Zizic if that doesn't happen (and I frankly don't expect it has a chance to happen.)

SIGN ANTE TOMIC!

Ante is a skilled post passer and is a good Euro level PNR finisher but soft and has poor balance. He was NBA material 5+ years ago.

Im just rooting hard for him. My boy.
I do believe that his skillset is sort of plug and play. Rebounding very often translates well. Especialy if a guy has good lenght, which he has with 7'3" wingspan. And his next best skill is finishing around the rim as a roller or on putbacks. Thats also easily translatable imo.

Oh, I agree.  I'm quite excited for him, and think he'll translate well to the NBA in a couple of years.  I just don't want to set expectations of him that he can't meet, and thus leaves me disappointed.

He also had 2 steals and 2 blocks.

[Bostoncelticsforlife7]

4 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 blocks while shooting 50% in 16 mins is still really good for his first game
