Z and his brother

Whatever happened to the Big Z of the game vs Georgia? I already ordered my #9 T-shirt after the game. Fools gold.

The Illinois Isivic is the better player of the two by far.

Calipari has done everything to put Z into a position to succeed and he’s just soft. Once you start to push back against him physically he folds.
Some of that has to be American food not agreeing with him, right? The joke is "get that boy some cheeseburgers/cake," but American food is generally one step above a cowpie laced with sodium benzoate to preserve the color.

I honestly think Pope could whip him into shape and figure out how to get him eating right. Hell, I'm sure Lee Anne would cook his meals herself.
 
Sadly, they both lit us up from three

Z’s brother is a lot better. At some point people need to stop blaming Cal and just admit Z isn’t as good as people thought he was. That first 15 minutes against Georgia was largely just fool’s gold.

He’s had good games at Arkansas, but he’s still incredibly inconsistent, almost always lost on the court, pretty bad defensively, and gets pushed around way too easily.
 
Bring both brothers to a Kentucky. They have similar skills. That will keep them fresh and out of foul trouble.

It also open the Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian market where tons of NBA talents comes out.
 
Z really screwed up going to Arky with Cal. He could have fit in with Pope in ball handling and shooting.
 
If Z goes to Illinois, he's going to look like a completely different player. I don't think he's going to be as good of an interior player as his brother, but he will get coached up. Cal didn't use him well at all, and let him get exposed.

Z also would be a good fit at Gonzaga. Few does a good job with project big men.

Z is no small guy. He has good size, he’s just weak and disinterested in improving as a player
 
There is a reason Z played behind his brother all of their lives. If Z played here his only impact would be from behind the arc and I'm not sure he is that consistent. He could be if he practiced, maybe. It would be like a second year of Carr.
