Theoretically Ante Zizic

Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Rumor is off the court stuff. If they like KPJ but not Zizic, my guess is prostitution, gambling and or alcoholism.

I knew it didn't fit with his on court performance or team need with 3 centers expiring this year, him being the cheapest.
That is pretty bold to assert those issues as a guess

Those are very specific guesses.

Has someone substantiated them?
 
Heard in Twitter he might give it a go tomorrow. Nance is seeing a specialist. I'd out mckinnie in and for Cedi early and bring him back to play small ball 4 off the bench.
 
Ante Zizic (plantar fasciitis, left foot) is available to make his season debut on Sunday against the 76ers.
Zizic has been sidelined since the preseason with this foot injury. Larry Nance (thumb) is unlikely to go, so Zizic should be in the rotation right away in his first game. He won't have a big role behind Tristan Thompson, who has gotten off to a great start this season. Wait and see before adding Zizic any super-deep leagues.
 
He’s just really slow-footed. I’m not sure you can pair him with guards like Sexton and Garland. They need a more mobile center that can cover penetration on defense and, more importantly, get out of the way of their drives on offense.

I do think he has talent, though. I could see a team that plays bigger and more physical guards getting a lot out of Zizic.
 
No. I know we want him to be good, but he still. is. not. good.

Not even a rotation player on a good team.

If you’re a team going against Ante Zizic you have zero worries. You have to gameplan for Bobby Portis, Kanter, Cody Zeller, even Baynes. Zizic is just not a guy other teams have to worry about...unless he magically becomes way more athletic, a great 3pt shooter, or a bully that can score in the post 1-on-1 at will. And needs a way better b-ball IQ on top of one of those. Not gonna happen.
 
I think he’s drinking bleach

It's just his 2nd game back from injury. He showed he had moves inside last season. His defense needs to be alot better than it is right now. He also needs to rebound better.

I'm not even sure he has gotten enough minutes to say what kind of player he is yet even though he is in his 3rd season.
 
No one played well. The whole teem looked like another mess. There is one good lineup, that's it.
I didn't like how court awareness. Obviously he is a step slow. I heard he was working on his speed. He looks thinner, but he isn't faster yet.

Coming if a for injury that has been all season so far, so he is def not up to speed yet
 
His conditioning will get better soon with Love and Nance out. Still learning to play with all the new guys, I get that.

Wish he was just more physical in the post
 
Didn't move very well for a guy who's an alcoholic and prolific member of prostitution rings.

(According to an earlier poster that is)
