In other words, does it make sense to spend a lot now and tie up cap space for the future on an inside player when he might have such a big waiting in the wings?
There is every expectation that Ante Zizic, the No. 23 overall pick last June, will be a part of next season’s Celts. That he’ll be on a rookie contract is a bonus. There were questions whether the 6-foot-11 20-year-old could handle the move from Croatia to tougher competition in Turkey, but reports are more than encouraging.
We checked in with former Celtics player Gigi Datome, who is playing for another Turkish club, and, while there obviously is work still to be done, he believes Zizic will be ready to contribute in the NBA.
“He is a big body who moves well for his size,” Gigi said. “Not very quick lateral movements, but he runs the floor well, and he’s pretty quick on post moves. He has feeling for the game.”
Datome noted that Zizic’s new club, Darussafaka, is a solid Euroleague club coached by former Cavaliers leader David Blatt, and that Zizic “didn’t take too long to impact the team and to get into a new system. He plays hard and shows desire to compete. He has good feeling and position for offensive rebounds.
“I like him,” Gigi added. “He is very young, and usually big men develop later. He plays like an experienced player despite his young age. He is also reliable on the free throw line.”
