Good point. People forget that DA was the guy who drafted Al Jefferson and Kendrick Perkins. It's not like he doesn't know how to draft bigs. As to where Zizic will fit in. He's just going to have to come in, work hard, and earn minutes.
He is still very young but has the size and physicality we need on the interior. So let's give the kid a chance to prove himself first before we talk about shipping him out. The obsession with trading for draft picks is unhealthy around here. We have #1 this year and a top 5 next year, what more do you want?
Do you guys even think how hard it is going to be to integrate very young players into a veteran team that made it to the conference finals already and will probably be competing there again this time next year? Short answer - drafting/playing 3-5x young'uns is not going to happen because that's how you lose so what's the point of wasting asset capital on too many young kids at once?
It's absurd how some people paint CBS into a box, as if he doesn't know how to coach big men.
In spite of what Brad might prefer to do, he knows he can't get away with small ball 100% of the time, he knows that he has to have a tough, big to do the dirty work. The # of times we were pummeled on the boards isn't lost to him. He's also not stupid enough to think we're going to find a 7 footer who can rebound, play D, and yet have an offensive game good enough to play on the perimeter or run the offense (there are what, 3 or 4 of those guys in the entire league?).
Some of you act like if we got Kevin McHale we'd have to trade him for a bag of groceries, because hey, CBS would have no idea what to do with him or how to incorporate him into his team.
