I know it sounds stupid to say they are too advanced but I honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen a center be worse while playing with Harden.
He’s just not used to it imo, but zu won’t ever have hands sadly, they need to stop running pnr’s with him and run them with kawhi and PG. I was fully expecting zu to have his best season yet, could still happen but it’s been the exact opposite
Zubac is injured and dealing with back spasms. He has only played with Harden for two games.
A lot of things can be true and don’t have to conflict:
*Zu is really good. Especially at the post.
*Zu has a hard time handling the ball at times.
*Zu rarely gets easy balls to handle. He gets passes where he’s double teamed.
*Ty is a nasty coach that has stymied Zu’s creativity and development. Especially for passing.
To get an advantage on a roll you have to take a few really hard steps and sometimes you are a little blind to the passes. Zu is a little slow footed and I think the pick and roll game with him puts him in spots that don’t suit his ability. He has bad hands and he is slow.
Tomorrow: Ballmer extremely manic after getting on phone with Simon to finish trade for Theis, gushes about the amazing deal the Clippers got, just giving up T. Mann, Kawhi, Westbrook in return.
Zu is not great at handling and receiving the ball. I’ve noticed that alot since Russ came here cuz usually Russ is great at elevating his big man output but Zu fumbled so many passes.
