Zubac could not be more excited - he’s been a HUGE Lakers fan for his entire life, told me he cried like a baby when Kobe scored 60. |

I've always liked Ivica Zubac. _________________ Hold the door. |

Not a draft and stash then.
Best case - 15th man on team
Worst case - dfenders |
Lol how do you know? I trust the FO. A 32nd pick wasn't lightly considered. _________________ From 2-10 to the Western Conference Finals |

I'm liking this kid already:
Quote: | Ivica Zubac told us Kobe’s final game started at 4:30 a.m. in Croatia. He stayed up for it, cheered live, cried, and the sun came up. |

....you know...this is strange, but I'm more excited about this pick than I am about Ingram.
That's so messed up I know but he seems like a guy that will be a fan favorite here. _________________ Darvin Scam: https://media.tenor.com/images/3c15249955860a4b16b59e8ae035fb75/tenor.gif |

While Kobe is Zubac’s hero, the player he wants to emulate on the basketball floor is Marc Gasol. |

I don't. I'm guessing they'll fill out the roster and he takes Sacre's place. |

Kevin Pelton ranks him as a top-10 pick. Pelton's track record with these type of picks is impressive. |

Just watched his DX video, and that's the first impression I came away with. Seems to definitely fit the Bogut mold. | yeah. I'm optimistic about Zubac. He has the size to fill in the Bogut role. He probably needs to slim down a bit. He looked a little bit too heavy in the DX vids. |

Teams are selling good picks in the 40 range. We need to buy 1 or 2 more...could work out like Clarkson. |

how can you not like this kid with all the skills he has on the verge? this kid has potential everywhere except shooting (85% FTs still).
post game is nice. great touch. good feet for 7'1 defensively, 7'4 wingspan. very good passer for age, makes quick reads as P/R passer. runs the floor hard. finishes strong above the rim. Imagine all of these things improving - he's only 19. great pick. and his frame is going to get stronger and he's already 270. he's drawn Marc Gasol comparisons. I won't go that far, but he's definitely in the mold of a Gasol/Bogut big skilled euro Center type. |

I'd imagine he spends most of his time in the D-League as a rookie. Sign him to a two year, minimum salary deal and let him get those minutes in the D-League. |
