The Lakers dumped him knowingly He can’t be the starting center or even playing meaningful minutes on a contender Why? He can’t play pick and roll defense He’s an absolute cone on defense vs smaller players On offense he has fumblitis and is clumsy and blocky He can’t make quick reads he is not a read and react guy He has no range on his J, consistently All he is a garbage man clean up missed shots and grab defensive boards, he’s a usable body against Jokic or the biggest teams like Minnesota Am I wrong? Why wouldn’t Lue just play Brooklyn Nets ball and go with one PG and 4 wings at this point (Russ, Harden, Kawhi, PG, Mann)
Damn bro, i still think Zu is good. I just feel like we’re not utilizing him to his full potential. I think emotions are too high this week, and everyone is freaking out. We’re still at the start of the season. Yes, we are missing Batum or Roco heavily right now, and we’re straight up not playing as well. But we have to get the gears moving again. We’re working out the kinks and figuring things out. We might see Harden come off the bench, hell we might see fucking Terrance Mann play Center while being 6’5. But it’ll be fine. If we start panicking over 7 games total played, then we might as well stop watching the rest of the season.
