Physically and athletically, Zizic reminds me some of Cole Aldrich. The way Zizic moves reminds me of Aldrich. The athleticism, the quickness, the leaping ability reminds me of Aldrich. Clearly more comfortable in the post on offense than Aldrich. Plus looks an inch or so taller.

Both in terms of body type, run gate and playing style.

Zizic less athletic than Valanciunas and Valanciunas is a below par NBA athlete at center.

So, what I am hearing (and seeing in film) is that Zizic is a below-average athlete who can't shoot from the outside and his inside game is based on power, not quickness. He doesn't sound like the kind of front-court player who will fit into Brad's system.

Not sure where you get the "below-average athlete". He certainly doesn't appear that to me. Much more athletic than a guy like Perkins. And he does appear to have a decent mid range game, and certainly is a good free throw shooter.

I haven't seen anything that suggests he's particularly agile, either. I think the below-average athlete is probably fair.
