Theoretically Ante Zizic

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Keep the excuses coming. I’ve been saying he’s no part of any team’s future for quite a while. If we got Billy Preston in the Kyrie trade you all would probably still be hopeful about him too...
And I know we really don’t have any other options right now. But the Zizic experiment all in all is a waste of time.
 
Tristan's out next game. Wow. Going downhill fast. Zizic gets the start

I wonder if some of this is planned. TT is out for rest, which I think is smart. I wonder if Love being out last game was more for rest too.

I think they need to make decisions on Zizic and Mckinnie to see if they should just be filler in trades or can be part of the future. Even if it's just more short term vs long term.

I also think this forces Beilein to find more line ups.
It also gives the front office more tape and data to make decisions on how to proceed forward without depleting the roster too much where it hurts the young guys development.
 
I still like Zizic as a backup center and for certain match ups... Needs to prove he could stay healthy though and improve defensively... Offense he is not that bad and good enough for backup role
 
Zizic was +14 in 20 minutes against the Knicks, which was the best on the team.

It's just his second game back, nobody else on the team has an offensive game like him, so nobody is used to playing with a guy who has his game. His pattern has always been that he plays better the more minutes he gets.

He's not great, and he's not a starter. But he's also not nearly as bad as he showed in his first game back.

Didn't move very well for a guy who's an alcoholic and prolific member of prostitution rings....

Guy also is just recovering from a foot condition that likely impeded his ability to get in work. He doesn't have quick feet, but it is reasonable to expect he's going to look quicker than he did in the first two games as he gets his legs under him.

Needs a guard to pass to him as well. Garland would be smart to work with him. His first year he feasted off easy passes from Lebron. No one can really do that on this team. Delly has played well with him at times.

I wonder what his minutes restriction is. Nance is questionable tonight so we may still see him.
 
Looks like the writing is on the wall for White Wilt... Its already the 3rd HC that seems just don't like his play... I highly doubt the Cavs have any intention of bringing him back next year... Hopefully Cavs can get a true center soon, its very difficult to win with an undersized backcourt if you lack size frontcourt too...

Not getting minutes with love out is not a good sign.
 
15-12-2 on 6/7 shooting in just 24 minutes, after not playing serious minutes in forever. It's not like it was garbage time minutes either he was a big factor in our little comeback. Now Minnesota is far from a good team but still.

There is a common pattern that the more Ante plays the better he does. It's worth giving him playing time just for the ample driving /shooting room his screens provide on offense. On defense, I thought he was actually solid tonight.

I think he can have a role on an NBA team even if it's just as an instant offense bench big. I think we will regret not picking up his option.
 
I don’t trust none of the Cavs front office. You traded for Zizic and Zizic got ZERO chance to show anything. He get minutes and play good. I do not understand how all of these coaches couldn’t find a way to use Zizic.
 
Zizic should be getting 15+ minutes a game the rest of the year.

It won't happen, but it should. Kid can put the ball in the hoop and rebound pretty well. Not a good defender, but nobody on this team can defend worth a damn so I don't see the issue.

I can see him going to another squad and kicking ass.

Especially when playing larger guys that abuse us.

He can score too. His screen setting might be his best attribute. No way Henson and TT last through the deadline. He will likely get minutes. Prob should have picked up his option just as cheap filler.

He can score and finish. Yeah he gets burnt by quick guards unlike Love and TT lol!!!
