I’ve tried to stay positive about Zuby but at this point good riddance. Maybe he becomes a rotation player someday, but it’s clear we will not miss him one bit.
Man I wish Black was on this team. He and McGee would make a good tandem for D and as roll men on a team with several playmakers. Then run out the small ball lineup dependent on matchups (such as Hou or GS when they have Green/Tucker at the 5)
Very disappointing considering how much potential he showed as a 19 year old.

Too soft mentally and hasn't developed his game at all from his rookie season. He's regressing with every season in the NBA.

Trade this lovely, beautiful boy to Cleveland for $500K worth of Doritos. Let him reunite with his pop pop.

That was an embarrassment. Everytime the camera was on Zu last night I just felt pity. So odd that he peaked as a rookie and got worse every year of his career. Had such high hopes for him. |

First year the team was slow. DLO/rookie BI/Jules, etc. weren't exactly blazing quick. Then team got faster and faster each year and now he can't keep up.

| The only good moments he ever has are from scoring off pick and roll. That causes his energy to pick up on defense and the boards. |

But he couldn't keep up with another big in the post. And it wasn't just speed, he's physically weak. LMA just pushed him around like he was being guarded by a kid. I don't know how he's had two summers and hasn't managed to strengthen his post base. But without that, he doesn't even have a role in the league when teams go all prehistoric and pound the post. |

Even worse, he dropped weight to get faster and now he's getting pushed around by the big guys he's rostered solely to guard.

Part of me thinks that he singularly focused on losing weight and trying to get lean, and sacrificed working on his game. He's regressed in all areas.

Last night made me miss Kwame and I'm not even joking  He may have had the strongest base of any big man I've seen. Man just couldn't be backed down. |

This guy is a stiff, I guess when you're 7 feet teams will give you rope. This guy is now in his third year here. He's been either fat and deconditioned and when he plays he looks awful. Not sure what the Lakers are clinging to here.

He was thrown in the fire against the best post player in the League, but one can't pick the chances that are given. Williams didn't.

Yup. LA was scoring on both Williams and Javale but they found other ways to contribute.

Williams actually blocked Aldridge twice. He's gotta be the back C now. If the refs werent giving the Spurs BS bail out calls we would have won the game. |

| Welp, I'm not giving up on a 21 year old center who's on a rookie contract just yet. Unless it's for cap space of course. |

I was a big Zubac guy. Thought a big body with lost moves could develop into a blade diva s type. But each year he gets worse. Thomas Bryant would be great right about now.

| I am still not sure why they kept Zubac and waived Thomas Bryant. TB a better fit for this team than Zubac. |
