The Lakers plan to guarantee center Ivica Zubac’s contract for next season, Shams Charania of Yahoo Sports tweets.
Los Angeles had a Saturday deadline to make the decision. Zubac will make $1,544,951.
The 7’1” Zubac will be entering his third season. He averaged 3.7 PPG and 2.9 RPG in 9.5 MPG while making 43 appearances last season.
He got worse last year lol
Did he? Or did he not have a chance to consistently play?
Yeah, would have been nice to see what Zubac could have done with those minutes the Lakers inexplicably threw away signing and playing Andrew Bogut.
No brainer they’ll need to fill out the roster and 7”1’ always has a place at the end of the bench.
He didn’t get the minutes last year with Lopez and even Bogut for a little while. He should see a lot more mins maybe even start if the Lakers don’t get Jordan, Cousins or even Howard which I don’t see them getting any of those guys. This kid is good, I know it’s not the league it use to be for big men but I think he can really help this team if given mins.
Kawhi trade filler
I like Zubac, he can be a good player with minutes, a shame that last year he had a better center in Brook ahead of him, which he didn’t have the prior year, & also that bum Bogut, took PT from him, & he still whined of not getting enough of it, well he’ll get plenty back in Down Under. But I can see Zubac developing into a nice player, if given the chance.
