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.

    Plumlee should never start, take it from someone who had to watch him start about 120 games for my team. It was horrrrrrrrrific

    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

    You gotta watch stuff that happens off the ball, and you gotta watch defense. Zubac is the 3rd most important part of their offense, and arguably the most important part of their defense. He understands his role, sets good screens, grabs rebounds, makes the right play, and scares everyone at the rim.

    Mason is a good backup center. He is an awful defender, and any opponent is happy to go up against him. He has a lot of value, but the Clippers are dead in the water if he’s their starting center for the season.

    Zubac is the much better defender and Plumlee is himself basically a playmaking/creating offensive center off the bench that’s mobile. Plumlee statistically is one of the weakest centers in the league in FG% allowed at the rim and Zubac is statistically one of the better centers. You’re very wrong on your analysis…Zubac has consistently been a strong presence for the Clips in terms of their team defense and net rating.
