Zubac isn't ready yet. Bigs unless 'special' take longer to come around than wings even do.

We've got him going at a pretty good pace right now, we should keep bringing him along precisely like we have been. Patience is a cuss word nowadays, but "well we been spoiled!" is no longer an excuse. Time to stop playing Checkers and Play Chess along with the Lakers.

But I remember Bynum has some playing time in the beginning of his rookie season too.

Black doesn't do well against long centers. He does much better against smaller centers like Dwight Howard

I understand he's not ready but give him 5 minutes a game with the 2nd unit and see how it goes.

21 points again in the DLeague. Which is expected. I'm more curious to see how his defense grows from game to game

Someone said we needed a Tony Allen? He could be that guy.

Ivica Zubac Q&A: Catching Up With The Lakers Rookie

Quote:
Ivica Zubac quickly became a fan favorite when the Los Angeles Lakers drafted him with their 32nd pick in the 2016 NBA Draft. From his endearing accent, jovial demeanor and genuine love for the Lakers it was easy for the 7’1 Croatian center to find his way into fans hearts. At just 19 years old and needing time to develop, Zubac has been spending time with the Los Angeles D-Fenders, where he’s averaging 16.8 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.

Cmon man, don't diss black like that. He's a very solid backup C for this team and has actually had a large part in contributing to some wins for us.

That soft touch Marc Gasol killed us with last night? Hopefully that turns into Zubac

All that potential. Imagine having a core of DLO, Ingram, Nance and Zubac for the next 10 years or so.

Imagine that same core with Julius Randle too

I would encourage everyone to not get enamored with his d-league numbers. We all know how that turned out with Ryan "I'm prime Amare Stoudemire in the D-league" Kelly. Focus on the things that are translatable right now -- things like screen setting, running the PnR, running the floor, spacing the floor, etc. These are some of the things that will translate immediately. That he's able to space the floor and hit threes is pretty big right now. He should be getting burn right now, if not for his shot alone. That's an upgrade over whatever Tarik is currently doing on the floor.

He probably takes over for Tarik next year, or if Tarik is traded.

But now, Tarik brings a different element than Moz, i.e., mobility. Zub still doesn't have that.

Good attitude by Zubac. This is what we were saying preseason, that he'd need more reps with the DLeague. With Black/Nance possibly out, now he can get some reps with the NBA team, having got some playing time and rhythm with the Defenders. Working out nicely.

Quote:
"I wasn't playing anything with the Lakers, so it's better to stay [in the D-League] and get some minutes," Zubac said. "They wanted me to work on my game and stay in shape ... [coach] told me at the end of the year, he wants me to be five times better individually than I was at the beginning of the season."

Zubac helped the D-Fenders improve to 7-3, averaging 17.3 points and 8.5 rebounds over six games. The 19-year-old even hit half of his six three-point attempts, along with a few of his signature move, the sky hook.

He should be getting the minutes Robinson are getting and against big teams like Utah, Memphis as the backup to Moz.
