    I don't like the way his arms move when he runs. Not manly.

    :p

    ZUbac has a culprit that he will never overcome which is mobility.

    He is mobile relative to his size but he is not mobile relative to his opponents in this new day and age. He cannot ever become mobile for today's standards and thats the one big issue with him. He either needs to be an absolute dominant post player or his ceiling will always be severely limited.

    yeah, it's a bummer he's stagnated. but sometimes it takes bigs a little longer (same as with pgs). he might still round into a quality backup.

    For what, a bag of chips? He isn't really valuable right now. I like him and I think he has a spot on this team, even though he isn't a starter in todays league.

    ...those picks he sets. Solid and did all he could against Aldridge. Silly fouls closing on shooters but not his fault. Not the most agile big out there. Brown kept calling him Zubick...Zubit*h...Zuback. Generally praised him for effort.

    Nice player to have on a minimum contract. I hope we get a penetrating guard in the offseason that can open up the game for him. It’s when he’s most effective as a true big man.

    And embrace lifting weights you pasty soft white marshmallow! Put some hair On that chest. Gets some tats

    Must have missed IT spoon feeding him basket but he's been relatively better the last stretch of the season than he was early on whenever he got minutes.

    He's not as happy as he used to be all of his rookie year. I don't think its all because his dad is gone now but maybe part of it. Dude just didn't bring it in Summer League and it carried over to the season. I'm not in favor of just giving him away as I think he can still development into something real productive. I mean he is only like 20 or 21 years old.

    But if he can be included in a Deng deal instead of (Hart, Kuzma, Ingram, Bryant, Randle, or Zo) you do it.

    His dad passed? Had not heard that. That's tough and I am sorry for his great loss.

    Sorry, didn't think I needed to explain this further: Zu, Larry, and the team would joke with them that Larry would call Zu his son (hence Larry is his dad). It was often brought up in their social media posts haha.

    Oh damn. Sorry .... I forgot all about that running gag. Well good ... glad it was not the real thing, if his dad's still around.

    :p :p
