Lue said he didn't "reveal his hand". I think he put Zizic in a really tough spot. I saw both good and bad with the matchup, but it was the game I thought Zizic struggled the most.
Drummond did seem to keep Zizic from getting good post position. It will be good to see in a real game. TT didn't have a good game against him either.
That's good if he wasn't flustered by Drummonds strength. I think he has probably never played against a guy as big or athletic as Drummond though and it was clear he was trying to sort it out.
It really isn't a big criticism. Rookie/sophomore big men have a lot to learn about the league. Every big man has a different set of skills and it seems like you have to be a starter for 2 years to learn everyone and how to play them.
Re-watch the game again Cavatt. Zizic didn't even try to establish post position against Drummond.
