Thanks, GT.

Man, Zubac has massive potential. If he learns and feel comfortable with his left hand and improves with his agility he will be a great big in today's standards. He already can hit that 15 ft jumpshot and can run the floor decently.

In the areas considered "bad":

1.He was not understanding what's going as far as screens

2.He wasn't aware of action off the ball.

3. Slow to roll on the pick and roll

4.Blocking shots solely with his left hand which puts him in fouling situations.

What's really, really, nice about the bad areas are they're correctable through coaching, maturity, and work. The bottom line is he's a gamer. He's got that massive frame, standing reach, and he understands the game.

I simply can't believe we got this guy @32 regardless of why. Thanks GT. I appreciate and enjoyed it.

My biggest concern is his ability to defend the PnR. While he does need to be able to use his left hand, that's not gonna keep him on the bench the way that a guard/big combo that can beat Soft Hedges & Ice will.

But his length, hands, & touch around the basket are all high level NBA assets. You're not gonna get a player without flaws at #32, but he's an absolute steal all things considered.

What are you trying to watch it on? I got a message that it might not be available on some devices. No idea why.

I'm uploading a secondary link on Vimeo today as well, I'll post it here when it's up.

That transition dunk against the Cavs was really impressive. He catches the ball at the 3 line, takes one dribble and gathers himself at the top of the circle and then takes off from just inside the free throw line. That's Deandre Jordan kinda hops. Seriously, not many guys at that size can make that play. Marc Gasol doesn't have that in his toolbox.

Yeah I noticed he coudn't hard hedge, that will definately be a problem. Great attention to details once again. That's why to me Adams is a top 3 big in the NBA. His perimeter defense for his size is incredible.

Really love this video series GT. Hoping that deal with the NBA goes through so they don't keep taking them down off of YouTube. Wanted to compare this with the Mozgov video but just about all previous breakdown vids are down.

Great video GT. With limited leaping ability, I was pleasantly surprised at how good of a shot blocker he was during summer league.

I haven't done a Mozgov video yet, but plan on doing one before training camp. My next vids are gonna be...

-Summer League in Review: Brandon Ingram
-First Look at the New Schemes
-How Timofey Mozgov Fits In w/the Lakers
-How Jose Calderon Fits In w/the Lakers
-How Luol Deng Fits In w/the Lakers (this one got taken down & I have to re-do it)
-Summer League in Review: Anthony Brown (still debating if I want to spend a week's worth of free time watching this turkey fumble the ball & miss jumpers )

Yeah, we should tie Randle & Zubac's legs together and create an ambidextrous, two-assed monster known as Zubius Randac.

I'd like to see that Calderon video. He's a sieve defensively, but I think he's one guy that can orchestrate our offense and he's a very good shooter. I think he'll do well.

On topic, great video on Zubac. I do think improving his base with proper exercise/weight training will go a long, long way...

I'm hopeful that both weak side help from Nance Jr, and the ability to disrupt passing lanes and also block shots by Ingram will help mitigate that issue.

I hadn't noticed the strong hand dominance. Balancing that out is going to improve his quickness to get in position as he's wasting movement getting back to his right. The verticality thing is also eminently fixable.

It's interesting that Zubac was said to have fallen in the draft because of a reluctance to be a stash candidate. But I feel like having him build skill under our trainers is way more important.

Thanks GT.
A couple of years of seasoning and conditioning could make him a legit impact big. Quite the get for us considering where we drafted him.
