    He played so well for someone who does not get any minutes and never starts. Did his best, was impressive for the most part. Him and Kuz really contributed.

    This is true. He certainly wasn't bad out there, it's just McGee and Chandler are such good vets, they make his defense look bad in comparison.

    The center position is one of the toughest positions in basketball to learn. Especially defense. Choosing the right angle for a block, help and recover on time, rebound the ball after challenging the shot, etc. I'm happy Zu picked up 4 blocks and didn't foul out.

    And the center is supposed to be vocal and call out when a pick is coming, etc... I haven’t heard Zu talk much in those situations, but Moe proves it’s not nessicarily a problem of not being a native English speaker.

    This kid is actually really good. I mean, consistently good. Knows where to be, how to play vertical D (although he's not MCG), finishes around the basket with confidence. Does EVERYTHING right.

    Fantastic game. This was everything I was hoping he would be defensively. He was already great offensively, so this was all I was hoping for.

    Now we have a hard decision coming up when McGee comes back. I’m sure McGee is better, but it’s still a good problem to have 3 centers playing well

    Just give him consistent minutes and rest Chandler. Make sure Tyson is healthy, rested and ready for big defensive plays in crunch time.

    He's playing fantastic right now. I'd honestly given up. Really happy to see his turnaround and it looks like he may be able to keep this up.

    Zublocka is back!!! Love the comeback story he's having this year. We're definitely gonna need the offense now that LeBron will be out for a while. I think zubac should take Tyson's minutes and play off the bench with Rondo, they play great together.

    At this point you can really reduce the minutes on McGee and Chandler thus preserving them for the playoffs. This is what we were looking for from Zubac at the beginning of the year. Now you really can’t keep him on the bench with how well he’s playing.

    Thats three good games from Zubac, keep it up!

    He might not be like McGee or Chandler defensively but he can definitely hold is own. Altered a lot of shots there. He does have a better offensive game than them and thats been making all the difference for us.
