Ante Zizic was one of the players the Cavs acquired from the Celtics in the
Kyrie Irvingtrade. He was immediately sent down to the G League to work on his game. He played sporadically throughout the season, but he was ready to have a bigger role within the rotation.
Since Tristan Thompson injured his ankle and Zizic stepped in, he’s averaged 8.2 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. He’s also shooting 86 percent from the field. Thompson has struggled for most of the season and it’s showed.
In the two games he’s played in March, he was only shooting 50 percent. Zizic shot 5-for-6 in his first two games in March. Cavaliers fans can only imagine how much better he would be at this point if he were getting significant playing time in the NBA.
Why is it media and fans can see the better player, but Lue can’t?
