exodus Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 Quote: Zaza's biggest problem last year was that he had a poor attitude after the decision was made to start Horford at Center and he was relegated to role player off the bench. He openly pouted and it clearly affected his play. Woody said after the season that it was important for Zaza to accept his role and come back with a better attitude. Late in the season and particularly in the playoffs, he played a lot more like the Zaza of last year and the year before. THAT Zaza definitely has value and that is the Zaza that I'm sure Woody wants to see. Zaza was a poor defender that shot a poor percentage before Horford showed up. Zaza had a PER of 3 in the playoffs. Just because he headbutted KG doesn't mean he was productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traceman Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 And that is the only game he played at least 20 minutes. He had 9 pts and 6 rbs in the game and he picked up the slack big time when Smoove was in foul trouble and Marvin was hurt. His +/- was +11 in that game.

I have a broken watch at home that is right twice a day. Zaza is a "break glass in case of emergency" big. that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Traceman Posted July 9, 2008 Report Share Posted July 9, 2008 He certainly has to improve but he's still young and he has the raw physical tools (except for the leaping ability - damn he can't jump) to be an effective big man. He just needs to learn how to put that big body of his on somebody and realize that nobody wants to bang with his big ol' head all night long.
