Even as a laker fan i never thought Zubac was a great player like they kept painting him as. While he has occasional great performances he just does not bring anything more than offense. I’ve been a huge fan of plumlee since his stint with the nuggets and think he is a very underrated center. This isn’t about my favor of Plumlee. I think he’s a solid 6th man. I just don’t think Zubac is any better than a scoring center off the bench.
zubac was actually great on defense to start last season but it seemed like he slowed down due to fatigue probably because we were relying too much as our only center. hoping he can sustain that level of play throughout the season now that we have plumlee as a legit backup to start the season
