Sadly a healthy Zach would be nice to have right now. Last night in 32 minutes he was 5-11, 2-5, with 12 rebounds, 5 assists, and a steal.
Agreed, but a "healthy Zach" is a sighting as rare as Bigfoot. If the Blazers thought he could stay healthy, we would have signed him to a huge extension. I love the guy and wish him nothing but the best. And agreed, he is EXACTLY what this team needs.
The Knicks now have the 8th best record in the league in this year of mass parity outside of 4 at the bottom and 5 or 6 at the top. That has moved the pick down to #23.
By a "healthy Zach," I assume you mean a "healthy Blazer big man?" It's somewhat painful to think, we gave Little basically what SAS gave Zach, despite being much more invested in Zach and Little's health being just as much day-to-day. GPII jokes aside, I have no confidence in the current medical staff. The only thing they're good at is being cautious.
Zach has played 52 games so far this season and having career numbers. Since starting almost 15 points a game and 8 rebounds a game. He had held his own against other centers he gone against so far as a starter. Last night he out played Turner from Indiana. Zach last night he was -8.8 as rim protector and those numbers been better since starting. Does Portland need take a look at Zach this off season the answer is yes. Philly and Denver and Brooklyn was required about him at deadline. His contract next year 7.7 million not guaranteed but for the spurs to trade him they would have to pick up his contract and I don't see why they wouldn't.
Kinda sad that it took SIX YEARS for him to become a decent rotation player. I was so mad when we drafted him.
